Title:

Legal RFP Review Process

Background:

As Council is aware, staff published notice for Requests for Proposals for Legal Services.  The deadline for submittal was April 5, 2013.  Proposals were received from fourteen different firms.  An evaluation committee consisting of staff members will review the fourteen proposals.  That review process is expected to be completed by April 26.  The committee will recommend  firms to be interviewed by Council and such interviews will be scheduled so as to be completed by May 17.  Council will be asked to approve the contract for legal services on their June 11 agenda.

Staff is asking for Council to discuss the process for interviewing the firms.  For example, when this process was done three years ago, all Council Members served as the final interview panel.  Following determination of who will conduct the interviews, dates would be scheduled for the interviewing process. 

Recommendation:

The City civil attorney has a very close and integral relationship with the Council, and it is recommended that the Council participate in the interview to become familiar with the candidate firms.

Funding Source:

N/A

Council Action:

Based upon discussion.
