Council names two firms for on-call engineering services after competitive bids
Summary
The council approved appointing both bidders for on-call engineering services, including GHD and a second bidder named in the record, citing complementary strengths for review work and larger-capacity needs.
The council approved appointing two firms to provide on-call engineering services for the town after receiving two bids. Brett reported the town received bids from GHD and a second firm and recommended selecting both to provide complementary capabilities: one firm for routine plan review and another for deeper engineering depth.
Brett said GHD "has a lot more depth" and recommended appointing both firms so the town could call on the appropriate expertise depending on project needs. The council seconded the recommendation and approved the appointments on a voice vote.
No contract amount or term details were provided in the meeting discussion; staff said the appointments would be for a one-year term with on-call arrangements, and the town will proceed to finalize the engagement under municipal procurement rules.
