The on-call contracts with 15 firms cover environmental studies for city projects and commit no money up front.

The city keeps a standing list of 15 firms it can call on for environmental reports and specialty studies on city projects, and the Board of Public Works wants those agreements to run eight years instead of five. The City Council must approve the change before the board signs the amendments.
