City Attorney Services

The City of Minnesota is seeking a qualified vendor to provide comprehensive city attorney services to support its local government operations. The agency requires a legal partner to solve ongoing municipal challenges, ensure regulatory compliance, and protect the city's legal interests across all departments. This opportunity is restricted to onshore vendors located within the United States, and the selected attorney must perform the work onsite. The scope of work covers regular attendance at city council meetings, which occur on the second Tuesday of each month at 7:00 pm, as well as special, board, commission, committee, and staff meetings upon request. The designated attorney will provide routine legal advice, telephone consultations, and formal opinions to the city council, department heads, and authorized representatives. Additionally, the agency requires assistance with drafting and reviewing ordinances, resolutions, contracts, deeds, and procurement documents, alongside providing guidance on the data practices act. The selected vendor will also handle legal matters pertaining to water, wastewater, streets, parks, planning and zoning, property acquisitions, public improvements, and tax increment financing. The agency is requesting proposals to determine the budget for these services, and interested bidders must submit their responses digitally via email or online. No specific evaluation criteria or key dates are provided in the procurement details.
