The CITY’s primary objective for this Agreement is to obtain Professional Services promptly for Right of Way Acquisition Services from one or more qualified firms. A Master Professional Services Agreement (Exhibit A) will be executed between the City and the selected consultant(s). The Master Professional Services Agreement will allow the CITY to request the services of a retained Consultant(s) on an individual project basis, as the need arises. Staff will solicit an informal proposal, a proposal based on scope, understanding, and schedule. The proposals will be evaluated and ranked by City staff. The successful proposer will be given a Task order to be executed by the Consultant and the City. Once the cost fee has been negotiated a purchase order will be issued. Should the City fail to successfully negotiate an acceptable maximum fee for services for a specific project with the Consultant involved, the City reserves the right to seek and retain said services through other means or other consultant(s).
