Council approves professional services agreement with Jacobs for public works and maintenance services

On June 17 the Centennial City Council approved Resolution 2025‑R‑23, authorizing a professional services agreement with Jacobs Project Management Colorado to provide public works and engineering services, facilities, fleet and landscape management, maintenance services and code compliance support.

Council had reviewed the proposed agreement in multiple prior briefings, including presentations to the council and the budget committee. During the June 17 meeting the council majority moved to approve the resolution after a period of review; the motion passed with eight ayes. The city manager acknowledged staff lead work on the contract, noting, “I just wanna acknowledge the work that miss Thomas put into this. She really drove the ship, for the entire process.”

Why it matters: the agreement establishes a multi‑year professional services relationship covering core operational functions that support city maintenance and public‑facing infrastructure. Council and staff said the contract follows extensive review and public reporting to budget oversight committees; councilmembers who asked questions at prior briefings said they were satisfied that outstanding concerns had been addressed.

Next steps: staff will finalize contract execution and transition tasks with Jacobs and operational teams. The city noted appreciation for department staff and Jacobs for negotiating terms and indicated the arrangement is intended as a long‑term partnership to improve service delivery and value to Centennial residents.
