(Attachment 1) DISCUSSION The Purchasing Manual provides that as part of the budget process, the Finance Committee approves the scope of services for Capital Improvement Program (CIP) consultants over $85,000. This requirement applies to feasibility studies and design or engineering services for a General Fund capital improvement program. The report excludes recurring, routine service-related agreements such as testing or maintenance contracts, environmental assessments paid by developers, contract agreements for legal service, and Enterprise Fund and Internal Service Fund capital projects. 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 of a project, staff will not materially change the scope unless it returns to Council for approval. RESOURCE IMPACT Approval of this recommendation will have no fiscal impact to the City. Funding for the consultant contracts of these projects is included in the 2007-09 budget.
