Commission Memorandum
REPORT TO: Honorable Mayor and City Commission FROM: Shawn Kohtz, Interim Director of Public Works
SUBJECT: First Addendum to Professional Services Agreement with The Nest Collective, LLC for Public Works Department Public Relations Services. MEETING DATE: November 26, 2018
AGENDA ITEM TYPE: Consent
RECOMMENDATION: Authorize the City Manager to sign the First Addendum to the Professional Services Agreement with The Nest Collective, LLC for public relations services. BACKGROUND: The Public Works Department (PWD) requires professional services to develop and implement communications strategies for public works projects and initiatives.
Timely and consistent public communications is critical to inform city residents about capital construction projects (e.g., road and utility construction), public works seasonal initiatives (e.g., leaf clean up, snow removal), code enforcement issues (e.g., sidewalk snow removal, right of way encroachments), and community wide infrastructure initiatives (e.g., water conservation, sidewalk replacement, oil and grease awareness) and marketing for solid waste and recycling
services. Effective public communication increases citizen awareness of projects and initiatives and provides citizens with the information they need to avoid construction conflicts and road closures. The PWD has been working with The Nest Collective since 2013. In October of 2017, the City
entered into a 1-year agreement with this firm for public relations services. The agreement allows for an extension of the contract and because of the history The Nest Collective has with the PWD, staff is recommending to extend the contract one year as allowed in the original contract. The agreement would remain the same. UNRESOLVED ISSUES: There are no known unresolved issues. ALTERNATIVES: As suggested by the Commission.
FISCAL EFFECTS: Approved FY19 Public Works Divisions’ budgets provide funding for
public relations services. Attachments: First Addendum to Professional Services Agreement Professional Services Agreement dated October 23, 2017
