The council approved use of an on-call Architectural & Engineering master contract roster (from 31 RFQ responses) to provide transportation, utilities and environmental engineering services; annual aggregate compensation capped at $50,000 per specialty.

Councilors approved the use of an On-Call Architectural & Engineering Services Master Contract roster that staff assembled after soliciting 31 responsive RFQs and vetting firms through the Municipal Research and Service Center process.

City materials list firms on the roster including Transpo Group, Freeland and Associates, Associated Earth Sciences Inc., RH2, Gray & Osborne Inc., Reichhardt & Ebe, BHC Consultants, Geoengineers, Pacific Surveying and Engineering, and Northwest Surveying & Engineering. Staff told the council the roster will provide as-needed support across transportation planning, civil engineering, utilities, geotechnical investigation, surveying, architectural and structural analysis, environmental engineering, and landscape architecture; compensation will be assigned via individual task orders with an "aggregate not to exceed $50,000 per year for each specialty." The roster term is three years, extendable by mutual agreement for up to two additional two-year terms.

Staff characterized the roster as a way to ensure rapid access to technical services for multiple departments without executing individual lengthy procurements for every project. Council approved the use of the On-Call Services Master Contract and authorized the mayor to sign contracts with firms on the roster as needed.
