Body
CITY PROPOSAL:
RESOLVED, that the proper city officials are hereby authorized to enter into a five-year master services agreement, substantially in the form attached as Exhibit A, with Alliant Engineering, Inc., for professional traffic engineering services needed to support the construction, operation and maintenance of city systems for an annual estimated amount of $50,000 and a total contract amount not to exceed $250,000, payable from various appropriate funds, departments, agencies and objects, City Project No. 2132.
Statement of Purpose
STATEMENT OF PURPOSE: This resolution authorizes a five-year master services agreement with Alliant Engineering, Inc., for professional traffic engineering services needed to support the construction, operation and maintenance of city systems on a non-exclusive, as-needed basis.
This agreement will be one of two blanket purchase agreements for traffic engineering services ordered and billed on an hourly basis pursuant to a city-issued, written statement of work or similar document. By having agreements with multiple firms in place, the engineering division has the flexibility to order and complete projects in a timely manner based on a particular company’s expertise and availability. The agreements do not guarantee that a minimum amount of services will be ordered from a particular vendor, and the agreements may be terminated at any time.
