Lucas Ford Redevelopment Commission to retain HWC Engineering for on-call civil engineering
Summary
The Lucas Ford Redevelopment Commission asked the Board to approve a professional services agreement with HWC Engineering for prioritized, as-needed civil engineering support; the board approved the agreement.
The Board of Public Works and Safety on April 30, 2025, approved a professional services agreement for the Lucas Ford Redevelopment Commission (RDC) to retain HWC Engineering as an on-call civil engineering provider.
A presenter for the Lucas Ford RDC described the agreement as a retainer-style, as-needed, fee-based contract that would give the RDC priority access to HWC Engineering. The presenter said the arrangement is non-monetary at the commission level but that individual work calls would incur fees; the presenter stated a $5,000 call fee would apply when services are requested and that the RDC would still seek RDC approval for specific expenditures.
The board approved the professional services agreement by voice vote. The presenter recommended the city consider a similar arrangement for city projects or use other firms for on-call engineering support. The board recorded its vote on the motion to approve the agreement and thanked the presenter.
Staff will coordinate final contract execution and ensure related RDC approvals as needed.
