Discussion:

At its July 16, 2024 meeting, the City Council adopted Resolution R2024-102, establishing a three-year professional engineering consulting pool, effective from July 16, 2024 through June 30, 2027.The firms were selected after a thorough review of all Statements of Qualifications (SOQs) by staff in the Engineering, Public Works, Planning and Development and Parks and Recreation Departments. Overall, this combination of consulting firms represents sufficient expertise to accommodate the recurring engineering, architectural, planning and design needs of the City in an efficient and cost-effective manner. 

 

The selected consultants are required to enter into a Master Agreement for Professional Consulting Services, which establishes each firms' requirements while performing services for the City. The Master Agreement will streamline the contractual processes for consultant support in the future, replacing the need to enter into a new Professional Services Agreement (PSA) with each project proposal.

Budget Impact:
None.
