Agency seeks competitive bids for urban renewal boundary update; AKS has provided a quote
Summary
Staff said AKS provided a quote to prepare an urban renewal boundary update, but the agency requested two additional bids to avoid paying twice for overlapping work; members questioned why the agency would pay both AKS and another contractor.
A member asked why the agency would pay both AKS and an additional consultant for the urban renewal boundary update if AKS was already working on the task. Staff clarified AKS had only provided a quote and that the Urban Renewal Agency requested two more bids to ensure competitive pricing.
Members expressed concern about paying for duplicate work and asked staff to confirm the scope before contracting. Staff said the boundary update work and any ordinance drafting would follow standard procurement practices and would be presented to the agency with options and costs.
