^^^^ It is an ideas competition so before any "negotiations" can even begin, a winner has to be selected from among the five competing firms.

The preferred proponent (prime contractor) is a Canadian firm architecture/LA firm and the main LA firm is also Canadian (neither is from Edmonton, look east). That's all I can say at this point.

Who's down for deriving some things from Tierra Santa in Buenos Aires? Instead of a Rising Jesus, we can have a Rising McJesus.

I think I have mentioned this before I think we should call it the boiler room after Mordecai Richler famously called Edmonton the boiler room of the country. You could build a giant boiler with stairs inside so you could climb to the top. It would have to be more of a frame like structure to make it transparent. I think it would be a lot of fun.

They should look to acquire parcel 185. The park ironically could use a two hour paid parking lot, which would also serve to generate some revenue for the space’s operational concerns.Project Update - November 2021

No parking lot required thank you kindly. Washrooms and a cafe space, yes, parking lot - no.
One consideration that likely is way behind past is that it could have had 1 level UG that could have been used by all neighbouring businesses but that ship sailed a long time ago.

That's two days in a row agreeing with you. We make a third and I'll buy you a beer.

This is the third time that I know of that the City has abandoned -- mid stream -- a competition for ideas. Soon they will have no one wanting to compete for City-held calls for RFPs -- this is a sign of a City that is truly lost and confused. God help us all if we are left relying on City Planning for ideas. Grow Up Edmonton!!!

^huh?
I was under the impression that they had run the competition and selected a group to move things forward,

It says in the link you posted above, the following:
The City originally proposed a design competition to secure a consultant for this project but changed course due to COVID-19 and the economic downturn. The alternative procurement process for design services is underway.

Oh ok, sorry. I thought something had changed once again or since that.
