Amendments <br />approved in December 2018 and March 2019 increased the contract to $270,000 and extended the term <br />through December 2019. From January 2020 through April 2024, the City continued using LCW’s services <br />without a written agreement, paying approximately $456,000. <br />On January 11, 2024, staff issued a Request for Proposals (RFP) and received submissions from three law <br />firms. Following a review and evaluation of the proposals, staff recommended entering into a new <br />agreement with LCW to provide labor negotiation services. On April 1, 2024, City Council approved a <br />three-year agreement with Liebert Cassidy Whitmore to provide labor negotiation services in an amount <br />not-to-exceed $350,000, with one optional two-year extension, for a total not-to-exceed contract value <br />of $600,0000. <br />7.G. - Page 1 of 24 <br />196
