STAFF ANALYSIS
Staff received three submittals from consultant firms on September 1, 2022, in response to a posted request for qualifications. The submittals were reviewed and ranked by a scoring committee consisting of representatives from several different City departments. As a result of that review process, staff selected AZTEC Engineering Group, Inc. as the design firm with the best qualifications for the project. Staff completed negotiations of scope, schedule, and fee with AZTEC for use in the final contract. The final negotiated design service cost is below the FY2023 Capital Improvement Program budgeted amount, and within the FY2023 CIP performance period. With Council consent of this authorization of funds not to exceed $2,563,800, staff anticipates having AZTEC under contract, and giving a notice to proceed by the end of December.
