Council hears explanation of Riverline Center contract increase; no vote required
Summary
City staff explained an increase in the Johnson Consulting contract for the Riverline Center business plan from $45,000 to $80,000, citing added scope and an unpaid portion of earlier phases; council asked for consolidated documentation by email.
City staff explained to the Council on Tuesday why Johnson Consulting’s Riverline Center business plan and funding strategy contract was brought forward at a higher amount than previously approved. Councilor Sale, who pulled the item for discussion, queried the $80,000 amount; staff said the change reflected an increased scope that added site visits and operations/programming recommendations and incorporated $15,000 in uncompleted work from earlier phase 1a/1b scope.
The consultant reported the expanded scope will complete the work through May–June 2025. Councilor Sale requested staff supply the council with a consolidated email laying out the changes; staff agreed to do so. The item was informational and did not require further council action or a vote during the meeting.
Ending: Staff will email councilors an itemized summary of the scope changes and the basis for the $80,000 payment and will monitor completion timelines through late spring.
