DISCUSSION In October 2017, the City Council approved a list of over 30 consultants that were qualified to assist staff and developers in the preparation of environmental documents and related technical studies. The list was approved for a period of three years. Staff is proposing to continue the program and is requesting authorization to distribute a Request for Qualifications to establish a new list (Exhibit 1). The ability to select a consultant from a pre -approved list eliminates the need to circulate individual Request for Proposals thus reducing the time it takes to hire a consultant and streamlines the entitlement preparation process. The scope of work to be performed by consultants includes any and all work efforts needed by City agencies that are related to analysis of a proposed project for compliance with the California Environmental Quality Act and National Environmental Policy Act, including the preparation of technical studies. Further, consultants are needed to provide expertise in a range of functions such as the processing of specialized development project applications, code amendments related to unique and/or special planning related topics, and the provision of planning staff services. The Statement of Qualifications received in response to this Request for Qualifications will be reviewed by staff and compiled into a list of qualified firms for City Council approval. Selection for the pre -approved list does not guarantee work to a consultant. Upon selection for a specific project, a side letter agreement to provide Environmental and Planning Services is drafted, insurance 19E-1 RFQ for Environmental and Planning Services August 18, 2020 Page 2 information is collected, and funding for the project is verified. Selected firms that are responsive to this RFP will remain on the City's official list for a period of three years. FISCAL IMPACT There is no fiscal impact associated with this action.
