Commission selects four firms as most qualified for engineering and architectural services
Summary
By resolution the commission approved a ranked list of four firms for engineering and architectural professional services and authorized the mayor to negotiate agreements.
The commission approved a resolution selecting the most qualified firms for engineering and architectural services following a requests-for-qualification (RFQ) process.
Mayor Diaz explained the RFQ and evaluation process: firms submitted packages, an evaluation team scored proposals separately, and the top-ranked firms were identified. Because there was a tie for third place, the administration brought forward four firms rather than the typical three. The resolution authorizes the mayor to negotiate and execute professional services agreements with the ranked firms and names alternates.
Commissioners asked clarifying questions about the selection process and how the administration will choose among the approved firms for individual projects; the administration explained the city can select among the approved firms based on project fit or workload. The resolution passed on a recorded vote; staff may issue project-specific negotiations as needed.
