Subject: Revisions to the agreement with Northstar Consulting, Inc. for coaching,
training and organizational development services.
Recommended Action
Adopt a Resolution approving revisions to the agreement with Northstar Consulting, Inc. for
coaching, training and organizational development services.
Executive Summary
On March 12, 2018, the city entered into a professional services agreement with Northstar
Consulting, Inc. ("Contractor") for coaching, training and organizational development services
(Exhibit 2). The term of the agreement is five years. Revisions to the scope and compensation
section of the agreement are being presented to the City Council as the awarding authority for
any change order or amendment that exceeds the City Manager's autho'rity, pursuant to
Carlsbad Municipal Code Section 3.28.040{D)(3).
Discussion
Organizational development, training and leadership coaching activity has increased across all
city departments and the city's past practice has been to utilize the services of outside
consulting firms to deliver these services. At this time, the city has the need to utilize the
consulting services of Northstar Consulting, Inc. in an amount that exceeds the agreement's
annual limit of one hundred thousand dollars ($100,000). Staff recommends amending the
agreement to increase the not-to-exceed amount to two hundred seventy-five thousand dollars
($275,000) per agreement year. In addition, the Contractor has requested an increase in the
fee structure effective July 1, 2019 in order to maintain market competitive pricing.
Fiscal Analysis
Sufficient funds are available in the Fiscal Year 2018-19 departmental operating budgets for use
of these contractual services.
Next Steps
Staff will implement the approved changes to the agreement with Northstar Consulting, Inc. for
coaching, training and organizational development services.
