SUMMARY STATEMENT:
In FY19 the City did a request for proposals (RFP) to establish the City’s Attorney for Civil Legal Services. The legal firm of White Peterson Gigray & Nichols, P.A. was chosen. The
Agreement includes Monthly Retainer Legal Services at a fee of $7,000 based on an estimated need for 38 hours of legal work. Pricing includes 20% discount of the firm’s hourly billing
rates. Additional legal services for items such as litigation will be billed outside the retainer at the discounted hourly rate. The City and the firm will review the actual hours of
work performed semi-annually and will adjust payment/credit if the monthly usage exceeds or falls below 10% of the retainer hours. In addition to these services, the firm will provide
up to six of hours of training on topics determined by the City during FY20 at no additional charge.
The agreement designates William F. Nichols as primary attorney for support to the Council and as primary contact for the agreement. The agreement also designates William L. Punkoney
as primary attorney for Community Development and Public Works matters.
The agreement was for one year with renewals or extensions to be made in writing by both parties. Attached is the original agreement and the First Extension of Agreement for City Attorney
/ Civil Legal Services.
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Approve the First Extension of Agreement for City Attorney / Civil Legal Services with White Peterson Gigray & Nichols, P.A. and authorize the Mayor to sign all necessary documents.
