DEPARTMENT:  Public Works

 

ORIGINATOR:  Julie High

 

EXECUTIVE RECOMMENDATION:  Ken Klein 8/30/24

 

PURPOSE: Approval of Agreement CC07-24 will allow Snohomish County Public Works to utilize Communication Resources Northwest, LLC for Training Services in the areas of Effective Communication and Team Building.

 

 

BACKGROUND: The Public Works Department (PW) has determined the need for a consultant to provide effective communication and team building training to their staff. The training provided shall cover all avenues of communication utilized in the workforce (e.g., daily/common interactions, writing and email, meetings, presentations, etc.) and cover both in-person and virtual/electronic forms of communication. Through a Request for Proposals (RFP) Public Works has solicited the services of a consultant to assist the County with this work.  Communication Resources Northwest, LLC was one of six firms responding to RFP-24-024SB and was selected through established Federal, State and County policies and procedures. A Professional Services Agreement between Snohomish County and Communication Resources Northwest, LLC was negotiated. Total budget for this ECAF is $181,500.00 which includes the agreement amount of $165,000 and an additional 10% contingency amount of $16,500 for allowable unforeseen costs.  The approving Motion for the agreement authorizes the Public Works Director or Deputy Director to approve and execute amendments to the agreement within this total budgeted amount.
