City staff selects consultant to update comprehensive plan; manager to negotiate contract
Summary
After a published RFP and interviews, staff announced that 'Breeze and Nichols' scored highest in the selection process for the 2037 comprehensive-plan update; the city manager will negotiate fees and return a contract for mayoral signature.
The Bee Cave City Council reviewed the selection process for the 2037 comprehensive-plan update and heard that the city will begin contract negotiations with the top-ranked firm.
Staff summarized the procurement process: the RFP was authorized April 14 and released April 24, a pre-proposal conference and virtual interview rounds were held, and eight proposals were received. Staff said the selection committee (five staff members) advanced four firms to in-person interviews, rescored proposals after interviews, and determined that "Breeze and Nichols received the highest score." The manager will negotiate fees and contract terms and return the contract for mayoral signature.
The presentation emphasized a 12-to-16 month project timeline and a heavy weighting on public engagement in the evaluation process. Council members indicated familiarity with the selected firm and voted to authorize the manager to negotiate the contract.
Quote: "ultimately, Breeze and Nichols, received the highest score," the project presenter said.
