FROM:Alex Jordan, City Engineer
TO:Mayor and Council Members
Subject:
Professional Engineering Consultant Pool Extension
Policy/Action Requested:

Adopt Resolution R2023-151, extending the term of the preapproved professional engineering firms for 2021, 2022 and 2023.

Recommendation:
Adopt Resolution R2023-151
Discussion:

At its December 1, 2020 meeting, the City Council adopted Resolution R2020-139 establishing the City's Consultant Pool for 2021-2023. The preapproved Consultant Pool list is used to streamline the selection process and to assist municipal staff in obtaining consulting services in areas where special expertise is required or when workload is such that it cannot be accommodated in a timely fashion by in-house staff. The current Consultant Pool expires on January 1, 2024. City staff recommend that the City Council extend the term of the Consultant Pool until July 1, 2024. Statements of Qualification (SOQs) will then be solicited in the spring of 2024 to update the pool of approved professional engineering firms.

Budget Impact:

None.
