To support a significant increase in capital improvement projects, the council approved a not‑to‑exceed $242,000 contract with Project Partners Inc. for engineering staff augmentation through June 30, 2026, with an option to extend for 12 months.

Public Works told the council it is managing 44 CIP projects totaling about $71.5 million for FY24/25 and needs additional engineering capacity. The council approved a consultant services agreement with Project Partners Inc. for staff augmentation, not to exceed $242,000, for work through June 30, 2026 with an option to extend 12 months.

Staff said the engineering division currently has six staff and had relied on a consultant for the past 30 months; the prior consultant contract expired. The augmentation is expected to average a minimum of 20 hours per week to maintain project delivery and plan‑check workloads.

The council approved the agreement with a unanimous roll call among members present.
