Ya'll should look at Idaho Code, Title 67, Chapter 23 to learn how the
selection process is governed.  What you won't learn is how the process is
flawed, how it can be manipulated and how it inhibits community
development - that takes years of training and practice.

I do see I have received 2 answers today:

1) First, there was no competition for the architect.  I wonder how many
architects were consulted and interviewed for this project?  Sounds like one
(1).

2) Second, that in all probability, MSD has no idea exactly what it is
buying. They dont have quantity or quality estimates, just a raw number.
The location is not set in stone and, for a project that is 2-3 years in the
future, they have a 5% contingency fund. With the architects own numbers we
would be over 10% short before we even start construction. Plus or minus a
point or two. Either way.
