Mr. Solomon explained that the amendment to the contract is with one of the city’s on-call legal providers. There are opportunities for on-call providers to request a price adjustment and that is what is being presented. He indicated that the price adjustment seems significant but is based on discussions with other outside firms. The contract amount is well below what average firms charge which is why staff is recommending approval. Mr. Solomon noted that staff is currently in the process to go through an RFP process to solicit contracts for new or renewed on-call legal services. Currently there are 14 firms on contract with the city. |
