Explanation
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. The goal of this process improvement effort is to improve customer service delivery, interdepartmental coordination, and optimize processes for the execution and delivery of 3P projects.
In 2011, the City formalized its Public-Private Partnership (3P) Process in an effort to create an efficient, reliable system for executing complex projects involving multiple development partners. 3P projects are private development projects that are supported by the design and construction of public infrastructure improvements that are funded in whole or in part by the City.
In the first five years of the Public-Private Partnership (3P) Process (2011-2015), the City coordinated 38 Public-Private Partnership (3P) projects totaling $59.7 million. In the past two years (2016-2017), the City has completed 28 Public-Private Partnership (3P) projects totaling $93.6 million.
