DATE: April 18, 2016 <br /> <br />TO: Honorable Mayor and City Councilmembers <br />Susan Iverson, Acting City Administrator <br /> <br />FROM: John Anderson, Acting Public Works Director <br /> <br />SUBJECT: Engineering Contracts <br /> <br />Requested Action <br /> <br />Provide Staff with feedback on the City Council’s a desired course of action. <br /> <br />Background <br /> <br />In 2007 the City went through a process to identify engineering consultants to be placed in a pool <br />to draw from for specific areas of expertise. This process was led by D eb Bloom and Kris Giga <br />who were the City’s engineering staff at the time. <br /> <br />Discussion <br /> <br />As you know since that time the City has seen the departure of Roseville staff supplying <br />engineering services to Arden Hills and the hiring of City staff to fill the Assistant City Engineer <br />position and Public Works director position. Public works approach to engineering projects <br />since the departure of Roseville staff has been to accomplish as much with city staff as time <br />allows and supplement that with consultants as necessary. <br /> <br />The City Council has voiced some concern with the way in which engineering consulting <br />services are selected and with the need to initiate engineering projects in the near future, staff <br />would like feedback from the City Council on how they wish to proceed with selection of <br />engineering consultants in the future. <br /> <br />Attachments <br /> <br />Attachment A: 2007 approval of consultant pool <br /> <br />AGENDA ITEM – 1E <br /> <br /> <br />MEMORANDUM <br />
