RE; Approval of APRPA Consulting Contract — Multi-Year
The enclosed documents is a contract for your approval where we will be looking to enter into a
professional services advisory contract with iParametrics. The main driver of this is contract is
the need to better understand the new rules and regulations and how they apply to the ARPA
money provided by the US Treasury.
The Office of Economic Development has been charged with developing a strategic plan that
looks to allocate the ARPA funds within the eligible uses. iParametrics will provide two distinct
services. First, advisory and evaluate whether a use is eligible for ARPA funds and then secondly
provide compliance and technical assistance around the ARPA reporting. A procurement
methodology of a Request For Qualifications (“RFQ”) was used. This RFQ was for consulting
services relative to advisory and technical compliance. Eight Respondents submitted
qualifications. A small team of intemal professional staff represented by the Office of Risk
Management, Administrative Services, Finance Department, Office of the Comptroller and
Community Development selected three proposals to interview. Ultimately, the group settled on
iParametrics based on their qualifications and interview.
The consulting services contract is anticipated to be multi-year and is a fee for services being
bud geted at $200,000.
THANK YOU.
