In addition to authorizing those agreements, the City Council also directed staff to assess the opportunity of retaining qualified local businesses that provide similar as-needed services.
After evaluation of the qualifications of firms who submitted responses to RFQ PW16-115, staff is recommending that the City Council authorize the addition of the following seven firms to the approved as-needed services list.
