Summary

After a closed meeting to evaluate proposals, the city announced one responsive offer for multi‑term public defender services and the council approved awarding the contract to the firm identified in the single response.

City procurement staff reported that a single responsive proposal was received for the multi‑term public defender services RFP. Jennifer Allen of central purchasing told council the only responsive offer came from Pashtek Law (listed in the packet as the sole responsive proposer) and that resident preference points had been applied where applicable. The central purchasing office and the evaluation committee recommended awarding the contract to the responsive firm as advantageous and in the city’s best interest.

Council moved to accept the procurement recommendation and approved the award by voice vote. The procurement documents and resident preference application are part of the public record in the agenda packet.
