Council authorizes contract negotiations for maintenance, planning and engineering services
Summary
Council authorized the city manager to negotiate and execute multiple professional services agreements: citywide property maintenance RFP (Resolution 2330), a future land use map contract with Norris Design (Resolution 2331), and a pool of seven engineering consultants for ongoing professional engineering services (Resolution 2332).
Terrell staff presented procurement recommendations and the City Council authorized the city manager to complete negotiations and execute agreements on several items aimed at updating planning documents and securing operational services.
On the property maintenance RFP (Resolution 2330), staff recommended multiple vendors to cover grouped city properties, easements and rights‑of‑way; council authorized the manager to negotiate contracts reflecting staff recommendations. Assistant director Raylan said the consolidated RFP this year produced more vendor responses and will allow the city to spread work across multiple contractors and rights‑of‑way.
Council also approved staff’s choice of Norris Design to update the city’s future land use map (Resolution 2331) and authorized negotiation of a contract; pricing will come back during budget review. Finally, after an RFQ for professional engineering consulting, staff recommended a roster of seven firms for annual services and third‑party review (Resolution 2332). Staff explained that appointing multiple qualified firms provides backup and specialized expertise (traffic, water hydraulics, utilities) and helps avoid over‑reliance on any single firm used frequently by developers.
Each action passed by council voice vote, and staff indicated pricing and contract terms will be negotiated and returned for final execution as required.
