BACKGROUND: On September 6, 2022, Public Works received approval to

Public Works staff review and scoring. After review of
responder information Public Works recommends the
selection of Fehr and Peers for standard professional
contract. The contract will be in place for a two-year base
period with a third potential year if mutually agreed upon.
INTERACTION: Public Works.
