Consulting services for specific projects will be requested on an “as needed - when needed” basis and the initial term of each continuing service contract will be for three years with the option to renew the contract for two subsequent one-year terms based on satisfactory performance and mutual agreement.
The Department of Design and Construction Management (DCM) and the Chief Procurement Officer recommend that the City Commission authorize the appropriate City officials to execute Continuing Service contracts with each of the highest-ranked consultants based upon their disciplines to provide engineering services as set forth above, and begin contract negotiations as Citywide projects are approved.
Fiscal Impact:
Approval of this Resolution will not fiscally impact the City until individual contracts are negotiated, approved, and executed. Future funding may be required and will be subject to City Commission approval.
