Council authorizes advertisement of engineering-services RFP to replace current firm
Summary
Council authorized advertising an RFP to recruit a new municipal engineer after the current engineering firm was acquired and the borough said priorities shifted. Staff expect interviews and a selection at the April meeting.
The borough manager told council the relationship with the current municipal engineering firm had become complicated after that firm was purchased by another company and its priorities shifted away from municipal work. Council voted to authorize advertisement of an engineering-services RFP.
"We are looking for a new borough engineer... we're basically just asking engineers to submit proposals to us to be our municipal engineer, and then we'll conduct interviews of those engineering firms and hopefully select an engineer at the April council meeting," the manager said. A council member asked to specifically include traffic design and traffic-calming expertise in the RFP language; staff agreed to add that language before advertisement.
Council approved authorizing the RFP by voice vote; the manager said minor edits would be made and interviews scheduled in advance of an April decision.
