Board schedules votes on two consultant contracts for fleet inventory and organizational assessment
Summary
Trustees agreed to place on the March 23 agenda two RFP-based consultant selections: Fitch to review police and fire fleet needs and CGR to assess other departments' organizational needs; staff said Climate Smart grant conditions will be satisfied before agreements are executed.
Trustees discussed two related consultant procurements at the March 9 work session and directed staff to place the items on the March 23 meeting agenda.
Trustee Kathleen summarized the approach: the board issued separate RFPs for an organizational assessment and for a vehicle inventory; staff recommended hiring Fitch to perform a specialized emergency-services fleet review (police and fire) and CGR to review buildings, DPW, clerk/treasurer functions and other departments. "We are recommending Fitch," Kathleen said, noting Fitch's experience reviewing police and fire operations.
Staff and trustees discussed grant compliance tied to the Climate Smart program. Trustees agreed to sign the grant agreement before executing the consultant contracts to ensure access to grant funds. Staff estimated a kickoff and study period of roughly six months for the organizational review and vehicle inventory.
No final contract was executed at the meeting; trustees instructed staff to return on March 23 with contract documents and a grant-compliance confirmation for board action.
