Public works awards on‑call staff‑augmentation contracts to TransTech and Z&K for up to $750,000 each
Summary
The council authorized two five‑year on‑call professional services agreements for staff augmentation, program/project management, permitting and construction support; each contract has a not‑to‑exceed limit of $750,000 and was approved unanimously.
Public Works presented a request to authorize on‑call staff augmentation professional services agreements to ensure flexibility in advancing the city’s capital improvement program and providing specialized project support.
Staff said requests for qualifications yielded 11 submissions and that two firms — TransTech Engineers and Z&K Consultants — ranked highest in the selection process. The recommended agreements are five‑year on‑call contracts (with a one‑year extension option) and provide task‑order authority; staff emphasized that the contracts do not obligate funds by themselves but establish spending authority tied to budgeted projects.
Council approved awarding each contract with a not‑to‑exceed spending authorization of $750,000 and authorized the mayor to execute the agreements. Pam Manning of TransTech addressed the council in public comment and thanked the city for the award, noting the firms’ capacity to augment city staffing.
Ending: The agreements are intended to provide temporary staffing and technical capacity for plan checks, program/project management, permitting support and construction inspection as project needs arise.
