75 Regarding the additional budgetary request of $15,000, the Council may recall thatthe four consultants <br />76 who responded to the original Scope of Work had a price that ranged from $77,500 to $95,000. Staff <br />77 provided that original scoring sheet for reference as Attachment C. The consultant with the lowest <br />78 price lacked in the engagement, equity & inclusion, and sustainability experience. The other two <br />79 consultants (WSB & Stantec) lacked expertise in the equity & inclusion and sustainability topics. <br />80 Even when adding the additional $15,000 of cost to the overall project (bringing it to $95,000), the <br />81 totalcost remains comparable with the other two consultants. And, the level of expertise HKGi has <br />82 brought to the projectremainssuperior to the other consultants who bid on the Scope of Work. Given <br />83 this, staff would recommend the City Council authorize staff to work with HKGi on an amendment to <br />84 the Professional Services Agreement, adding the scope of work and cost outlined in Attachment B. <br />85 The additional $15,000 of cost would be paid for from the Community Development Fund. <br />86 S TAFF R ECOMMENDATION <br />87 Staff recommend the following: <br />88 1.
