Professional Service Agreement with GRAEF for the City of Oshkosh Sustainability Plan 2025 ($60,000)

BACKGROUND

The Department of Community Development sent out a Request for Qualification (RFQ) on October 17, 2024 in regard to the proposed City of Oshkosh Sustainability Plan 2025. We received eight (8) submissions.

GRAEF was chosen for these services due to their knowledge and their experience with the type of work. The cost of these services will be $60,000, which will be funded by American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) funds. The Sustainability Plan is intended to serve as a comprehensive strategy for addressing environmental considerations for the City and shall identify targeted policies, programs, projects, and goals that will address both current and future sustainability concerns and opportunities.

Chapter 12 of the Municipal Code of the City of Oshkosh provides that professional services of a specialized nature, including assessment services, may be procured without the use of formal, sealed quotes. In accordance with Section 12-16, I am hereby submitting this report regarding this professional services agreement.
