Committee approves AVI PC contract for Story Boulevard and Summit Drive construction administration
Summary
City Engineer Tom Cobb told the finance committee he selected AVI Professional Corporation via SOQ to provide construction administration for Story Boulevard and Summit Drive; the committee approved the $196,334.40 contract unanimously after a public commenter alleged conflicts of interest.
Tom Cobb, City Engineer, explained that AVI Professional Corporation was selected through a statements-of-qualifications (SOQ) process and cited the firm's familiarity with the project's design and coordination needs. Cobb said the cost not to exceed $196,334.40 and that funding would come from the 2022–23 optional sales tax (the 5th penny).
A public commenter, Charles Miller, urged the committee to reject the contract and alleged the firm and its principal act as lobbyists for private development; the chair limited Miller's remarks when they exceeded the item scope. Council members then moved and unanimously approved the contract to proceed.
