Explanation
1.

This agreement provides Professional Engineering Services to convert the HCWP disinfection process from the current gas based chlorine system to a liquid sodium hypochlorite disinfection system.
Work performed to date under this contract includes preliminary design services.
This contract renewal provides detailed design and bidding services.
The Community Planning Area for the Hap Cremean Water Plant is “N/A” since it provides service to several communities.
1.1 Amount of additional funds to be expended: $2,159,645.00
Original Agreement Amount: $ 587,000.00 (PO053678 {replaces PO042581})
Renewal (2019): $2,159,645.00
Renewal (future): $1,600,000.00 (estimate)
Total (Orig. + Renewals) $4,346,645.00
1.2. Reason other procurement processes are not used:

This contract renewal was anticipated and explained in original Ordinance No. 2817-2016.
1.3. How cost of renewal was determined:
