WHEREAS, the Public Works Department anticipates that several projects funded by various sources will require the use of transportation engineering design services; and

WHEREAS, the Public Works Department received 14 proposals in response to the City’s Request for Proposals, and following a qualifications-based evaluation process, a panel of Public Works staff selected five firms that were determined to be highly experienced and capable of providing on-call transportation design services to support the City’s anticipated workload over the next three years, with two (2) one-year extension options; and
