Item Police Contract Analysis and Consulting Services RFP Responses - Continuation
Description
Staff released an RFP for Police Contract Analysis and Consulting Services on July 15,
2022. The RFP closed on August 15, 2022. The RFP was marketed widely online and
staff reached out to local and national firms that specialize in this service.
The city received interest from three qualified bidders. One bidder declined to
submit, citing workload / staffing constraints as they were starting up their firm. In
total, the city received two proposals from consultants: one from a local retired law
enforcement executive, and one from a national police consulting firm.
The City Council will review the proposals from the two firms and determine the
next steps for moving forward.
Budget
Impact
Funds have been included in the 2023 proposed budget to assist in paying for the
consulting services. There are funds available in the 2022 budget, including General
Fund 112 – Administrative Expenditures – Consultant, and Special Revenue Fund 210
