Council approves three-year engineering services agreement with CMT
Summary
Council authorized a three-year agreement with Crawford, Murphy & Tilly, Inc. (CMT) for general engineering services and adopted Resolution 17-26 as an emergency to allow contract execution while staff finalizes negotiated rates.
Staff recommended a new three-year general engineering services agreement after the City's prior agreement expired and staff received eight proposals. City Manager Chris Lohr recommended Crawford, Murphy & Tilly, Inc. (CMT) citing the firm's experience with the City, familiarity with ongoing projects and GIS capabilities.
Council debated the emergency adoption and asked why specific rates were not included; Lohr explained qualifications were the primary selection criterion and rates would be negotiated post-authorization. Council voted unanimously to suspend the three-reading rule, declare an emergency and adopt Resolution 17-26 to permit CMT to proceed with subcontracting work necessary for ongoing water and sewer projects.
