Q.  If consultant assistance, which firm and what was the total budget for the previous work.

A.  The consultant was selected through a competitive RFP process.  The total budget was $48,419.  However, that budget did not include hourly consulting services as it was not included in that earlier RFP process.  Also, as in the case of this RFP, the City retained the right to choose to do certain components of the required work itself.
