The City of Long Beach (City) has historically used outside professional firms, on an as-needed basis, to provide engineering and design services in support of various projects.
On August 17, 2010, the City Council authorized an as-needed contract with AECOM Technical Services, Inc., in an amount totaling $2,500,000.
