Explanation

Background: This ordinance is to authorize the City Auditor to establish an auditor’s certificate for continued professional architectural, engineering, and construction management services in conjunction with park, trail, and facility capital improvement projects managed by the Recreation and Parks Department.

Mechanical, Electrical, Plumbing/HVAC Engineering
Civil Engineering, Environmental Engineering, Structural Engineering
