Cities often engage consulting firms for a variety of consultant services. Cities often must rely upon the consultant to provide a professional services agreement that outlines the terms and conditions for consultant services to be provided by the consultant to the city. Professional services agreements provided by consultants are often prepared to protect the interests of the consultant. A sample Professional Services Agreement has been prepared collaboratively to provide cities with an agreement template that can be used by a city as an alternative to utilizing an agreement prepared by the consultant. The sample agreement may require further customization to fit the policies and practices of the city as well as the type of consultant services being rendered.
