SUMMARY:
Attached is a Resolution awarding an Agreement for Professional Services to The
Wellman Way LLC for Implementation of Pueblo Food Project’s New Governance
Structure and facilitation of the organization change.
PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION:
Not applicable to this Resolution.
BACKGROUND:
The Pueblo Food Project (PFP) requested Proposals from qualified consultants to
research and create a report to better understand the options for a governance
structure change pertaining to fiscal sponsorship, nonprofit 501(c)(3) status, B-Corp,
and other fiscal options.
In partnership with Civic Canopy, Pueblo Food Project has been investigating
governance structure options for PFP to transition to. Over the past year, research has
been conducted to evaluate the top priorities that PFP should focus on to create the
most sustainable future for PFP. One of these priorities is evaluating and changing our
governance structure to fit the needs of the coalition.
Requested proposals include two phases of work. Phase one work is the only project
bid out at this time. Phase two work is not guaranteed. However, PFP would like to
work with a firm that can offer services for both phase one and phase two, should the
coalition make a decision to move forward with an organizational change. This
resolution approves the contract work for part 2 of the proposal to include the
professional services to lead the implementation of the new governance structure.
FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS:
Funding in the maximum amount of $65,000, in $5,000 monthly increments will be paid
out of Project No. CI2216 for this service.
