Board given draft of professional contracts; engineers to be engaged on as‑needed basis
Summary
Board member Bill distributed a draft of recommended professional contracts for the coming fiscal period and told the committee they will be on next week’s full-board agenda; the committee clarified engineers would be engaged on an as‑needed, vetted basis with no retainer.
Board member Bill (S3) told the Budget and Finance committee that staff had distributed a draft of professional contracts that will appear on the full board agenda next week, based on qualifications received at the end of March. He asked members to review the recommendations and to raise any questions, comments or concerns prior to final consideration.
During follow‑up questions, a board member (S1) asked whether the recommended engineers would be hired on an as‑needed basis and whether there would be a retainer. Bill (S3) replied the engineers would be used on an as‑needed basis and confirmed "no retainer." The committee did not take a formal vote on the contracts during the meeting; the items were presented for review ahead of next week’s agenda.
