Implementing Resolution <br /> WASHINGTON, D.C. ? Set Public Hearing For <br /> <br /> CONTINUED TO <br /> FILE NUMBER <br /> MANAGER <br /> <br /> <br /> RECOMMENDED ACTION <br /> <br /> Authorize the City Manager and the Clerk of the Council to execute an agreement for government <br /> liaison services with Holland & Knight, based on the terms set forth in the attached draft <br /> agreement, in an annual amount not to exceed $84,000 for a 1 year term, with the option, at the <br /> City's discretion, of up to four one-year renewals, subject to non-substantive changes approved by <br /> the City Manager and City Attorney. <br /> <br /> <br /> DISCUSSION <br /> <br /> Local government agencies rely upon the expertise of federal government consultants to represent <br /> their respective government agencies in Washington D.C. This service typically includes the <br /> review and monitoring of federal executive proposals and legislation, as well as administrative rules <br /> and regulations that may affect the City. Federal government liaison services are also essential in <br /> identifying funding opportunities and grant applications and other special programs for which the <br /> City may qualify. In the past year, the City has benefited from these services as we secured <br /> congressional support on grant applications submitted to the U.S. Department of Labor for a <br /> Workforce Innovation Grant and a H1- B Bridge to Engineering Grant; the latter was awarded $5 <br /> million over five years. <br /> <br /> In September 2012, staff was directed to prepare a Request for Proposals (RFP) for federal <br /> government liaison services. RFP 12-075 for Federal Government Liaison Services was released <br /> on November 21, 2012. Pursuant to the City's Standard Operating Procedures for RFP's, RFP 12- <br /> 075 was posted on the City's website and it was released to 50 consulting firms specializing in <br /> federal government liaison services. The 50 consulting firms were randomly selected from a list of <br /> 250 of the top consulting firms in the nation. Of the 50 firms solicited seven submitted proposals. <br /> <br /> 25C-1 <br />
