Title
CONSIDER APPROVING A SOLE SOURCE PROFESSIONAL SERVICES AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE CITY OF CARSON AND TERRY RODRIGUE FOR CONTINUATION OF ONGOING PROJECTS (CITY COUNCIL)
Body
I. SUMMARY
On June 22, 2020, the City and Interwest Consulting Group, Inc. (Interwest) entered into a service agreement to provide management and advisory services for the City that included having Jim Ross, an Interwest employee and former municipal Public Works Director for two decades, serve as Interim Director for the Public Works department while the City recruited for a permanent Public Works Director; and having Terry Rodrigue, President of Interwest, provide strategic and organization review of the City's contract and invoicing processes.
The Interwest agreement was first amended to extend its term as the recruitment for a Public Works Director had not yet concluded and amended a second time, when time was of the essence, to enable a seasoned grant professional with a parks and recreation background from Interwest assist the City with Proposition 68 grant applications. The third amendment enabled Terry Rodrigue to provide additional organizational review and technical services to assist the newly hired Director of Public Works. The consultant, Terry Rodrigue, now has terminated his legal affiliation with Interwest Consulting Group, Inc.
Staff is seeking the approval of the agreement (Exhibit No. 1) to allow the consultant, Terry Rodrigue, to provide the City with continued, uninterrupted services already commenced under the Interwest Consulting Group Inc., Agreement for an amount not to exceed $60,000, which is the remaining balance on the Interwest contract. If the City Council approves this agreement, staff will unencumber the remainder of the funds in the Interwest Consulting Group, Inc. Purchase Order and close out that contract.
