10 WHEREAS, Ryper Water Analytics has previously provided General Financial and Rate
11 Consulting Services to the City of Boynton Beach's Utilities and Public Works Departments and
12 maintains valuable historical knowledge of the City's systems and operations. During Fiscal Years
13 2023 and 2024, the Firm conducted a comprehensive Rate Study for the Solid Waste Division,
14 which encompassed data compilation, financial analysis, and formal presentations. Engaging a
i5 new consultant at this time would likely result in significantly higher costs to the City due to the
16 learning curve and duplication of prior work; and
17 WHEREAS, as the City prepares to implement an increase in sanitation fees, an update to
18 the recommended rates from the study is necessary. For Fiscal Year 2025, the Utilities Department
19 has issued two (2) Purchase Orders to Ryper Water Analytics totaling $48,890 for professional
20 consulting services related to the Water and Wastewater Capital Facilities Analysis and a Revenue
21 Sufficiency Analysis for the Stormwater System; and
22 WHEREAS, these services qualify under the procurement exclusion for Consultant and
23 Professional Services. This exclusion permits the City to contract, without competitive bidding,
24 with professionals or consultants who possess specialized training or hold licenses in fields such
25 as law, accounting, actuarial science, management consulting, medicine, or other disciplines as
26 determined by the City Manager or designee to be in the City's best interest—provided they are
27 not otherwise governed by section 287.055, Florida Statutes. Prior to contract execution, the
28 consultant's qualifications, work history, and other relevant documentation are reviewed for
29 compliance. The City's Procurement Division has reviewed and confirmed that the documentation
30 submitted in support of this purchase meets the criteria for this exclusion; and
31 WHEREAS, the City Commission, upon the recommendation of staff, has deemed it in the
32 best interests of the city's citizens and residents to approve the purchase of services for General
33 Financial and Rate Consulting Services from Ryper Water Analytics as a professional service in an
34 amount not to exceed $70,000 annually.
