SERVICES
DATE: MAY 24, 2005 CMR:257:05
SUBJECT: 2005-07 CONTRACT SCOPES OF CONSULTANT SERVICES AGREEMENTS
GREATER THAN $85,000
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the Finance Committee review the contract scopes of service of proposed
2005-07 consultant services agreements greater than $85,000, and provide input for the Council
consideration during the 2005-07 Budget process. (Attachment 1)
DISCUSSION
As part of the budget process, staff provides the Finance Committee with the list of budgeted projects
for which consultant service costs will be greater than the specified level, currently $85,000.
Consultant service is defined by the City as any contractor hired to provide information, knowledge or
advice, which may be in the form of a report, plans and specifications, drawings or other media. Only
consultant services that apply to General Fund capital improvement program projects are included in
this report.
The report excludes recurring, routine service-related agreements such as testing or maintenance
contracts, environmental assessments paid by developers and contract agreements for legal service.
Detailed descriptions of the proposed projects are attached as exhibits to this report to allow the
Finance Committee the opportunity to review and raise questions before commencement of any work
on the proposed project. Once Council approves the scope of work for a project, staff cannot
materially change the scope unless it returns to Council for approval.
