Item #3: AUTHORIZATION TO USE CONSULTANT SERVICES AND
INCREASING THF_, EXPENDITURES LIMITS
Chapter 6-3.1 1 requires purchases of supplies, equipment and services over $5,000.00 to
require formal bid and authorization from the City Council. Chapter 6-3.13 exempts
professional services from formal public bid on purchases of goods and services above
55,000.00. Typically consultant services are used to fill gaps and expertise lacking in the
organization. Consultant services are especially productive and cost effective since they
are short term and can be mobilized expeditiously compared to hiring a full time staff.
~' .
Consultants can assist the City/Agency in designs, negotiations, drafting agreements,
feasibility studies, and general project management. Given the expectations from the City
Council/Agency to move expeditiously on other City and Redevelopment projects and
analysis, the Executive Director is seeking authorization from the City Council/Agency
Members to allow the City Manager/Executive Director to use consultant services above
the $x,000.00 limit restrictions to be more responsive to Council demands. The City
Council/Agency Members may consider requiring the City Manager/Executive Director
to seek reauthorization of this authority on an amended basis.
It was moved by Chairman Pedroza, second by Member Richards to adopt the following
Resolution with the correction of consultant services above the $5,000.00 limit
restrictions but not to exceed $10,000.00 instead of $20,000.00 on a single project basis
and authorizing the City Manager/Executive Director to enter into agreements to secure
the services.
RESOLUTION NO. 2003.030 ENTITLED:
