SUMMARY:
On March 4, 2024, City Council accepted the qualifications-based ranking of respondents to the competitive solicitation RFQ 23-ES-13 "Professional Services for the Development of a Comprehensive Stormwater Master Plan" and authorized the City Manager to enter into Scope & Fee negotiations beginning with the top-ranked firm, Jones Edmunds & Associates.
Pursuant to these negotiations, Jones Edmunds & Associates has submitted the attached proposal in the amount $1,198,360 with a scope of services with the primary goals and objectives being:
