The commission approved Resolution 2026-14 authorizing continuing engineering services between the city and CEH Consultant LLC (formerly MidTower/CPH).
A commissioner asked whether the original engagement began in 2009 and whether the city should issue a fresh RFQ. City manager (speaker 8) said the firm has been instrumental in securing state appropriations and designing infrastructure projects; staff located a signed original RFQ but could not find a city manager'executed contract in files and noted the firm has served as a long-term partner. "From Jason Shepler to John Petrovich, those guys have helped me in many ways," the city manager said, recommending approval to maintain continuity on grant-funded projects.
Commissioners acknowledged the distinction between project management and engineering design and asked staff to confirm contract type and oversight responsibilities; the resolution passed on recorded roll call.
