Council approves on-call engineering contracts with AKS and Kennedy Jenks
Summary
The council authorized the city administrator to execute on-call engineering contracts with AKS (general services) and Kennedy Jenks (water and sewer), both nonexclusive agreements with rate schedules and renewal options.
City staff recommended and council approved two on‑call professional‑services contracts: AKS for general engineering services and Kennedy Jenks for water and sewer engineering. The contracts are nonexclusive and include standard rate schedules and term options (initial term plus renewal periods).
Staff said both firms responded to a public solicitation; only two proposals were received and staff recommended splitting service areas so the city keeps continuity on water/sewer work with Kennedy Jenks while engaging AKS for broader general engineering needs. Council discussed firm experience and continuity: a councilor noted long experience with Kennedy Jenks on the city’s water plant and preferred continuity for water‑system work.
The motion authorized the city administrator to execute both contracts; the record shows the motion passed by voice vote.
