Tice: Mr. -Mayor, is there some strong possibility that we would have _some proposed consultants available by the next Council meetinq'so we'canA ake some action on it. Miller: We would probably not have them by the next Council meeting. We are moving as rapidly as we can to put together a mailing list to get the RFP's out to the consultants. Normally, you would allow approximately thirty (30) days to respond. We would try to keep that as short as possible. We would put that as an outside figure, and if they can respond quicker, we would get it. We have about 24 on a list plus others that seem to be coming in almost daily to be put on the list. But, we are moving as rapidly as we can in that area. Tice: Do we have enough background on the ones that have submitted proposals that ... Miller: We will be soliciting background from those consultants to make sure that we have adequate information to be able to select a qualified individual to do the job. Fast: Mr. Mayor, I would like to comment briefly on this subject. I think the Council, and particularly the Mayor, took particular time to address the problems inherent with the environmental impacts and the necessity for the Environ- mental Impact Report. I might also indicate to the Council that the request for proposal will not be simple to write -either. Consequently, we cannot merely put an ad in the paper and start getting proposals in on the EIR's. So; we are at this point in time attempting to accumulate, as rapidly as we can, that good information from those agencies that have already had experience in this area to assist us in writing that request for proposal, and we will, of course, bring back those proposals to you with an evaluation for award. - 8 - • CITY COUNCIL MINUTES February 23, 1981 Paqe Nine Shearer: Is there any further discussion.
