BACKGROUND: Riverside Public Utilities (RPU) began extensive use of a professional services panel of consultants (Consultant Panel) to provide engineering services for energy delivery projects. RPU has had excellent success with the Consultant Panel for more than seventeen years. The Consultant Panel provides a ready list of staff and expertise to draw upon for projects that require outside professional services. When Consultant Panel services are needed, engineering staff requests formal proposals from the consultants that are qualified, and have been fully evaluated to provide the services needed. Staff reviews all proposals in order to evaluate the consultant's understanding of the scope of work, assigned personnel and their expertise and current workload, and costs to perform the work. Then staff recommends award of the services for work based on the proposals submitted.
