BACKGROUND INFORMATION:

On November 14, 2016, the City Council provided consent for a quarterly review and approval of renewals for various annual contracts that occur throughout the course of a fiscal year which are routine in nature and in accordance with the terms and conditions of the associated awarded contracts (which were originally approved by City Council).

 

Quarterly approvals manage staff resources more efficiently as well as ensure compliance with the contracts’ terms and conditions. Contract renewals that have any requested modifications, such as a significant increase or decrease in services or costs, will continue to be presented to City Council for individual consideration as needed.

 

The City Council has previously reviewed and approved the following annual contracts for various goods and services utilized for City operations; the contracts described below require Council authorization for contract renewal.
