Explanation
1. Background: This legislation authorizes the Director of Public Utilities to modify the professional engineering services agreement with Stantec Consulting Services, Inc. (formerly R.D. Zande and Associates, Inc.), for the Southerly Wastewater Treatment Plant Support Facilities project, Project 650344-100002. The Stantec Consulting Services, Inc. modification amount requested under this ordinance is $174,000.00. The contract total including this modification is $4,310,044.00.
The proposed contract modification provides funding for additional Services during Construction and Commissioning tasks for Contract S77. The potential need for this work was foreseen as construction progressed and is therefore a continuation of the services originally included within the existing contract's scope of service.

It is not deemed either feasible or reasonable to suspend work with the entity currently under contract and undertake continuation of these services with another provider. The Division has determined that these services cannot be performed by City personnel at this time, and has planned for the procurement of these services on a routine basis.
