Samford responded that overall there would not be much difference . She noted that the two proposals that were received were very different. She stated that there is not really an advantage of going with a private firm versus a university-based firm . Belk stated that he had expected to receive four proposals , one firm from Columbia backed out before the deadline and the New South Associates firm in Mebane never responded . Rich stated that personally he felt that Dr . Stine put a lot into the proposal and explained everything she expects to do in detail . He noted that his feeling from the Wake Forest proposal was for the HPC to gather everything together and send it to them . Allison stated that he thought that Dr . Stine ' s previous work in the area was more relevant.
