City staff warn RFQ requirements could delay generator grant work
Summary
Council heard that an RFQ requirement tied to hiring a new city engineer has delayed next steps on a grant for new generators; consultant Courtney Nelson reviewed procurement requirements and staff said the grant process is complex.
Chair R. B. Davis updated the council on a grant intended to fund new generators, saying the project was approved earlier but paused while the city completed an RFQ to secure a new city engineer. He reported that consultant Courtney Nelson sent procurement requirements and that staff must confirm whether the RFQ meets the grant administrator’s rules.
Davis characterized grant administration as difficult work: "so it's, you know, like, these grants are a nightmare," he said. Council members agreed staff would follow the grant administrator’s procurement requirements before moving forward.
