Beach Grove RDC weighs hiring professional services to lead next phase of redevelopment
Summary
The Beach Grove Redevelopment Commission discussed using a set-aside fund to hire a professional services team—acting like an executive director—to carry out phase-two redevelopment work and recommended commissioners review a proposal before deciding whether an RFP is required.
Beach Grove’s Redevelopment Commission discussed contracting a professional services team to perform executive-director-like duties and help carry the city’s redevelopment plan into a second, more active phase.
A commissioner told the panel the commission had set money aside to pursue the next generation of the redevelopment plan and had received a services proposal from a firm that previously responded to the RDC’s earlier solicitation. “When you read their proposal, you’ll see that they are the kinds of things I think that will take us to the next generation,” the speaker said and offered to forward the proposal and the firm’s terms and conditions to commissioners for review.
Commissioners debated whether the work must go out to bid again. One speaker said that as a services agreement it may not require an RFP under state law but cautioned that city ordinances could impose different requirements. The speaker did not provide a statutory citation; the commission asked staff to forward the proposal and contract terms to Bob (staff) for review.
Commissioners discussed timing and said they would hold a more substantive review next month. No formal award or contract authorization occurred at the meeting; the commission agreed to review submitted materials and return the item to the agenda for a vote if the invoice and contract terms are acceptable.
