CA-8 17-1455 Resolution to Recommend Approval of Three-Year Professional Services Agreements for Engineering Services for Parks and Recreation with SmithGroupJJR, Inc. and ROWE Professional Services Company (NTE Annual $150,000 each firm)
Provide information on the bid responses. Does the city know whether these are the best providers of the services? How will the expense of individual projects be assessed, if the contractor is already allowed up to $150,000 per year? Provide an assessment of the prior years' experience with the approach of pre-approval for these bids. Is the city obtaining adequate value? Concern with blank contract pages for scope of services and compensation (App. A & B). Pls discuss outside of Consent Agenda
This should be removed from the consent agenda for discussion. What is the expressed stated need for this service? Why would we be writing blank checks for almost $1 million dollars ($900,000) when the mayor has stated we are facing structural deficits? Also, the RFP's do not link properly from this agenda item, so the public is unable to know how this money is being spent.
