Amending Chapter 14, Article 7, Part 2, Section 1 Paragraph B Of The Revised Ordinances Of Albuquerque, New Mexico, 1994, The Professional Services Ordinance (Benton, Gibson)
body
AMENDING CHAPTER 14, ARTICLE 7, PART 2, SECTION 1 PARAGRAPH B OF THE REVISED ORDINANCES OF ALBUQUERQUE, NEW MEXICO, 1994, THE PROFESSIONAL SERVICES ORDINANCE.
BE IT ORDAINED BY THE COUNCIL, THE GOVERNING BODY OF THE CITY OF ALBUQUERQUE:
SECTION 1. FINDINGS
The City Council finds that:
(A) To Conform to the standards established in the Federal Brooks Act the City of Albuquerque's process for the procurement of Architectural and Engineering Professional Services Contracts, is governed by the Professional Services Ordinance ?? 14-7-2-1. The Ordinance regulates the solicitation and execution of Architectural and Engineering Professional Services Contracts for the City of Albuquerque, valued at over $25,000.
(B) The $25,000 price ceiling in the Professional Services Ordinance, using a 1980 baseline (the approximate era the Ordinance was created), has the value of $7,000 in the current market for Architectural and Engineering Services. The United States Bureau of Labor Statistics reports that the cost inflation for Architectural and Engineering Professional Services Contracts was 396% between 1980 and 2020. As a result, small quantity low value task orders must proceed through the lengthy Selection Advisory Committee Process or are assigned to on-call contracts, meant for medium size work orders, consuming finite quantities on those contracts.
(C) To adjust for price inflation and provide space for near term future price increases the value of Architectural and Engineering Professional Services Contracts should be adjusted.
