Summary

After a five-member selection committee recommended Civil West as the primary engineer of record and Tetrate Tech as secondary, council authorized the city manager to sign a contract with Civil West; Matt Wadlin of Civil West introduced the firm and said he will serve as the city's primary contact.

Council reviewed a recommendation from the contract review board and selection committee to appoint Civil West as Mount Angel's primary engineer of record, with Tetrate Tech named as a secondary/backup firm. The committee reported a mutual consensus after scoring and interviews; staff noted the secondary firm would be used if the primary cannot perform or if specialized support is needed. A contract authorization motion was made and approved by roll call.

Matt Wadlin, introduced in council chambers as the Civil West engineer who would serve as the primary contact, described Civil West's municipal engineering focus and regional office structure and said, "I'll be your primary contact and the person kind of leading everything." The council opened a brief contract review board meeting, heard no public protests against the selection, and then authorized the city manager to sign the recommended contract.
