Charter Commission Legal Services

The City of Bemidji, Minnesota, requires professional civil legal services for its Charter Commission. The agency needs a qualified legal consultant to assist the commission in navigating local government charter regulations and structural legal questions. This consultant will resolve the commission's need for ongoing, specialized legal expertise during its decision-making processes. The scope of work involves providing detailed legal analysis to the commission upon request. The selected consultant must also draft or review proposed charter amendments as directed by the agency. The agency allows the designated legal work to be performed either onsite in Bemidji or offsite from the consultant's own facilities. Eligible bidders must be organizations based entirely within the United States. The agency is currently seeking proposals to determine the budget and cost structure for these legal services.
