UNDERSTANDING OF NEED <br />INTRODUCTION AND BACKGROUND <br />The City intends to retain Civil Engineering <br />Consultants on an as -needed or "on -call" <br />basis. On an on -call, as -needed basis, the <br />selected consultants may later be asked to <br />provide professional engineering services <br />proposals on specific, project -by -project basis, <br />based on an agreed -upon specific scope of <br />services and fees. The consultant shall be able <br />to assist the City through this contract to <br />provide the necessary engineering services. <br />The consultant shall utilize in-house staff <br />and/or subconsultants to complete the <br />assignments to meet the City standards. For <br />specialized work for which the prime consultant <br />shall require a subconsultant, the prime <br />consultant shall serve as an administrative <br />liaison between the City and the subconsultant. <br />Prime consultant mark-ups for subconsultant <br />work will not be allowed. <br />APPROACH <br />Tetra Tech fully understands your desire for on - <br />call, as -needed services.
