Title:
Discuss Interview Date and Process for Civil Legal Services
Purpose/Background:
As Council is aware, staff published a notice for Requests for Proposals for Legal Services. The deadline for submittal was July 9, 2021. Proposals were received from five different firms, including Eckberg Lammers Attorneys at Law, Hoff Barry Attorneys, Holstad & Knaak, PLC, Kennedy & Graven Chartered, and Ratwik, Roszak, & Maloney, P.A.
An evaluation committee consisting of staff members will review the five proposals. That review process is expected to be completed by August 6, 2021 Unless otherwise directed by the Council, the committee will recommend firms to be interviewed by Council and such interviews will be scheduled so as to be completed by August 17, 2021. Council will be asked to approve the contract for civil legal services on their September 14, 2021 agenda.
Staff is asking for Council to select a date for interviews and to discuss the process for interviewing the firms. At this time, staff recommends holding interviews on Tuesday, August 10, 2021. Staff is also asking for direction regarding the interview process and panel. For example, when this process was done in 2013, fifteen firms submitted proposals and seven firms were interviewed. The interview panel consisted of the full City Council.
