Get assignment papers for Criado corporate conversion to LLC

Context: The April 20, 2026 item expressly identifies the contracting party as Criado & Associates, LLC, 'formerly known as Criado & Associates, Inc.,' but the record contains no assignment instrument.

Recommended: Pull the consent-to-assignment or novation documentation covering Criado & Associates, Inc.'s conversion to Criado & Associates, LLC, and confirm the LLC is bound by the original contract's insurance, indemnity, and bonding terms. If the city amended a contract in the name of an entity that never formally assumed it, that is a defect worth raising before the supplement executes, not after.

Request subsurface utility and survey scope for convention center work

Context: The April 20, 2026 committee item adds up to $1,000,000 for engineering, subsurface utilities engineering, and survey services under an existing Criado & Associates agreement rather than a new procurement.

Recommended: Ask procurement for the task-order breakdown behind the $1,000,000 supplement to see how much is subsurface utility engineering versus survey, since those are commonly subcontracted rather than self-performed. Firms that wait for a future solicitation may find this work fully absorbed into an existing prime contract instead.

Ask why convention center engineering contract grew 38 percent

Context: The April 20, 2026 Transportation and Infrastructure Committee item authorizes a not-to-exceed $1,000,000 increase from $2,642,569.00 to $3,642,569.00 for Criado & Associates, but no supporting scope narrative appears in the record.

Recommended: Request Supplemental Agreement No. 1 and the justification memo for Supplemental No. 2 to trace how a $2,642,569 engineering contract reached $3,642,569 without a new solicitation. The public record shows the increase but never explains what scope changed or whether the added subsurface utility and survey work was foreseeable at original award.
