Council accepts procurement scores, ranks SWG engineering first pending grant award
Summary
Council members voted to accept procurement scores that rank SWG engineering highest (385) to provide design services for potential disaster-recovery projects; officials said the city is applying for a grant with a stated minimum of $500,000 but the award is not yet certain.
Members at a council meeting voted to accept procurement evaluation scores and carry forward SWG engineering as the top-ranked firm to provide design work if a pending disaster-recovery grant is awarded.
Speaker 2 (unidentified speaker) told the council that finance had totaled and validated the evaluation scores and that the firms had resubmitted responses. "The highest ranking was SWG engineering with a total score of 385," Speaker 2 said, listing second through fourth places as m 2 engineering (370), TriMet Consultants (360.1) and Casino Homes (245).
The council clarified the scope of work the selected firm would perform. Speaker 1 asked, "And these engineers are to provide what service?" Speaker 2 replied the firms would "do the actual design" for projects tied to disaster recovery plans, including potential drainage work, street paving or equipment projects.
Speaker 1 moved "to approve as discussed in executive sessions" and later restated the motion to approve "as scored by council." Speaker 1 also said, "I second," creating a recorded motion and second on the record.
During brief discussion one member asked about funding certainty. Speaker 1 noted the amount is not yet known and that "It's a grant. We haven't submitted." Speaker 2 responded, "We're applying. The minimum is 500,000." The transcript does not show that the council had submitted an application or received an award at the time of the vote.
Speaker 1 called for a voice vote: "All in favor signify by saying, aye." Members responded "Aye," and Speaker 1 declared, "Motion carries." The transcript does not record an itemized roll-call tally.
Next steps recorded in the meeting were procedural: staff were asked to keep the council informed about the grant application status. The meeting was adjourned at 09:00.
