6.B. - Page 2 of 7 selected to move forward in the process, staff selected CSG Consultants, Inc. as the most qualified firm to provide construction inspection services. Since the initial contract amount was less than $60,000, the threshold for City Council approval at the time, the City Manager was authorized to approve the contract in mid-February 2018, and the Consultant began providing services shortly thereafter. On September 24, 2018, the City Council approved Amendment No. 2. to the agreement to increase the amount by $98,000, and on December 17, 2018, the City Council approved Amendment No. 3 to the agreement for Engineering Inspection Services to increase the contract amount by $100,000. Amendment No. 2 allowed for the continuation of construction inspection services, and Amendment No. 3 allowed the City to have two additional engineering inspectors to help with the increased demand for inspection services needed and that same demand for services is expected to continue this year. On May 20, 2019, the City Council approved Amendment No. 4 for $300,000 and on November 4, 2019, the City Council approved Amendment No. 5 for $400,000 in order to allow the continuation of construction inspection services.
