Board reappoints consultants for continuity, agrees to expedite RFPs
Summary
Worcester supervisors approved reappointing current professional service providers (engineer, traffic engineer, solicitor and others) on a temporary basis while agreeing to run expedited RFPs so the new member can review resumes.
The Worcester Township Board approved a grouped motion to reappoint current professional service providers — including the township engineer, traffic engineer, environmental engineer, open-space consultant and solicitor — while agreeing to expedite requests for proposals (RFPs) so that board members can vet candidates.
One board member raised concern that they had not been given an opportunity to review resumes or vet those firms. "I've asked for RFPs back in October, and they didn't happen," a board member said. The board agreed to reappoint current consultants to avoid leaving the township without services and to run RFPs promptly so interested firms and the new board member can be considered.
Staff said current consultants will be asked to compete in the RFP process. The board approved the motion with the understanding that Christine Steer will be involved in the vetting and hiring process going forward.
