.4 <br /> REQUEST FOR COUNCIL CONSIDERATION Agenda Section: 11. <br /> CMOS lor <br /> TEN <br /> STAFF REPORT Report Number: 94-1060WS <br /> AGENDA SESSION DATE February 7, 1994 Report Date: 2-3-94 <br /> DISPOSITION <br /> Item Description: Discussion Regarding Engineering Service Contract with SEH <br /> Administrator's Review/Recommendation: <br /> - No comments to supplement this report <br /> - Comments attached. <br /> Explanation/Summary (attach supplement sheets as necessary.) <br /> SUMMARY; <br /> The City has used the firm of Short-Elliot-Hendrickson for engineering <br /> services for over 20 years. Since the departure of the City's former City <br /> Engineer, SEH has been used more frequently for civil engineering services. <br /> SEH has requested that the City renew the contract for engineering <br /> services. The contract is a standard general service contract and can be <br /> terminated any time if the City were to decide to explore alternative <br /> service providers or reinstate a City Engineer position. <br /> A survey of staff who work closely with SEH representatives indicated a <br /> high satisfaction level with the services of SEH and a desire to continue <br /> utilizing SEH in the future. <br /> An alternative to the contract with SEH could be a formal RFP to better <br /> gage the scope and cost of other service providers. While it is good <br /> business to do this periodically to determine the "market", it may not be <br /> in the best interests of the City to do so in the middle of several on- <br /> going projects. <br /> Staff is seeking Council discussion and direction in this matter. <br /> ( -- <br /> iipptek <br /> Smantha rduno; City A inistrator <br /> ./ <br /> RECOMMENDATION; <br />
