The City may use the Prequalified Pool, at its sole and absolute discretion, on an as-needed basis. Multiple Service Areas. The Prequalified Pool will consist of the following three (3) Service Areas: 1. Construction Management, Contract, and Process Consulting. 2. Construction Contract and Construction Process Performance and Attestation Engagements. 3. Claims Analysis and Resolution.
Anticipated Term of Resulting Contracts: A Resulting Contract awarded from the Prequalified Pool shall be non-exclusive, with an original term to be determined at the time of Contract award based on the awarding Department’s business needs but shall not exceed ten (10) years.

Actual contract budget may vary, depending upon service and project needs at the City’s sole and absolute discretion.
LBE Subcontracting Participation Requirement: There shall be no LBE Subcontracting Requirement for any Contract awarded to a Contractor selected from the Prequalified Pool because the LBE Subcontracting Requirements were waived by the Contract Monitoring Division.
