Title:
Discuss Extension vs. (Request for Proposals) RFP for General Legal Services
Background:
In 2009, the City solicited proposals for attorney services for civil legal services and criminal prosecution legals services. The Council selected the law firm of Randall and Goodrich, P.L.C. to serve as city attorney to provide the legal services and authorized a contract between the City and the attorney. The agreement was effective July 1, 2009 and was valid through June 30, 2011, inclusive.
The agreement with Mr. Goodrich has expired and staff is requesting Council direction to extend the current contract or solicit RFP's for legal services. The current (expired) contract is attached for Council review.
City professional services contracts are generally reviewed every 2-3 years and have generally been extended beyond the initial term if the Council is satisfied with performance. The RFP process takes a significant amount of staff and Council time and is recommended for larger professional service contracts of this type.
