SUMMARY STATEMENT:
Four proposals were received in response to the city’s Request for Proposals for Legal Services (RFP). The RFP was issued June 14, 2019 with responses due on July 12, 2019. The selection
process stated that proposals will be reviewed by the City Manager and designated management staff for responsiveness and that the City Manager shall make a recommendation to Council
of applicants for further review and possible in-person interviews. The proposals were reviewed by the City Manager, the City Clerk and the Community & Economic Development Director.
All four proposals were deemed responsive. The proposals were then scored according to the matrix identified in the RFP and ranked as follows:
White Peterson
Parsons, Behl & Latimer
Naylor & Hales, PC

The Council is scheduled to interview selected applicants at the August 8, 2019 regular council meeting and select a firm to enter into negotiations for a final contract. The goal is
to have a final contract for Council’s approval at the September 26, 2019 regular session with a start date of October 1, 2019.
The City Manager recommends interviewing the top two proposers at the August 8 meeting due to their breadth and depth of municipal law experience, proposed compensation, proposed method
of service delivery, casework-management, availability, and approach to proactive practices.
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Select the law firm(s) of ___________________ for interview at the August 8, 2019 City Council meeting.
