CC Work Session <br />Meeting Date: 04/23/2013 <br />By: Jo Thieling, Administrative Services <br />Title: <br />Legal RFP Review Process <br />2. 1. <br />Background: <br />As Council is aware, staff published notice for Requests for Proposals for Legal Services. The deadline for <br />submittal was April 5, 2013. Proposals were received from fourteen different firms. An evaluation committee <br />consisting of staff members will review the fourteen proposals. That review process is expected to be completed by <br />April 26. The committee will recommend firms to be interviewed by Council and such interviews will be <br />scheduled so as to be completed by May 17. Council will be asked to approve the contract for legal services on <br />their June 11 agenda. <br />Staff is asking for Council to discuss the process for interviewing the firms. For example, when this process was <br />done three years ago, all Council Members served as the final interview panel. Following determination of who <br />will conduct the interviews, dates would be scheduled for the interviewing process. <br />Recommendation: <br />The City civil attorney has a very close and integral relationship with the Council, and it is recommended that the <br />Council participate in the interview to become familiar with the candidate firms. <br />Funding Source: <br />N/A <br />Council Action: <br />Based upon discussion. <br />Form Review <br />Inbox Reviewed By Date <br />Kurt Ulrich Kurt Ulrich 04/18/2013 03:12 PM <br />Form Started By: Jo Thieling Started On: 04/16/2013 10:40 AM <br />Final Approval Date: 04/18/2013 <br />
