1. BACKGROUND
This legislation authorizes the Director of Development to enter into contract with ReEngine Consulting, LLC, in the amount of up to $50,000.00 for the Consultant Services: Kaizen/Lean Process Improvement.
The Department of Development has initiated a procurement effort that will result in the award and execution of a professional service contract for the purpose of providing Kaizen/Lean training and facilitate implementation of a series of process improvements for the City’s Public-Private Partnership (3P) Program.

In the past two years (2016-2017), the City has completed 28 Public-Private Partnership (3P) projects totaling $93.6 million.
