Committees recommend firms for general engineering and stormwater qualifications; no contract approved
Summary
The finance and street committees reviewed requests for qualifications and recommended one firm for general engineering and another for stormwater work to be first contacts when projects arise. The council took no contract action and the recommendation was informational.
The Kennett City Council heard a joint report from the finance and streets committees about requests for engineering qualifications and recommended two firms as first contacts for future projects.
Committee members said the city solicited qualifications for stormwater work and for general engineering services related to streets and other municipal needs. Five submittals were received; committees recommended Partnershift (listed in the meeting as Proper Bluff / Partnershift) for general engineering and Waters & Associates (referred to in the meeting as Waters and associates) for stormwater work. Staff emphasized there is no contract obligation; the firms would be the first companies the city approaches when professional services are needed.
Why it matters: naming prequalified firms can save staff time when engineering work is needed, but council must still approve any specific contract or scope of work before funds are committed.
