Council accepts RFQ rankings and adds firms to engineering rotation
Summary
After an RFQ for continuing engineering services, council reviewed rankings (top score 281) and voted to add additional firms to the city's roster for rotating engineering assignments; the RFQ process requires negotiating in rank order.
Planning staff reported on an RFQ for continuing engineering services and presented a ranked list of firms. The staff committee (which included the city manager and the council president) compiled scores; the transcript shows the top ranked firm at 281 points and that the city may select one or more firms under the RFQ terms.
The council discussed whether to add the top two or top three ranked firms to the city's rotation. Planning staff explained negotiation rules tied to the RFQ: because the solicitation allowed selecting "one or more," the city must begin negotiations in ranking order and cannot skip back up the list. After discussion the council authorized adding three more firms to the roster so the city will have multiple engineering firms available for projects.
Council asked staff to proceed with negotiations consistent with the RFQ and to return with negotiated agreements as appropriate.
