Explanation
1. BACKGROUND:
A. Need. This legislation authorizes the Director of Public Utilities to modify the professional engineering services agreement with Burgess & Niple, Inc., for the Jackson Pike Wastewater Treatment Plant B-Plant Secondary Clarifier Upgrade project. The Burgess & Niple, Inc. modification amount requested under this ordinance is $194,508.00. The contract total including this modification is $6,783,193.00.

Reason other procurement processes are not used:
The funding provided by this contract modification is for completion of the existing work of the contract. Due to the highly complex and technical nature of this wastewater treatment plant infrastructure, it is not reasonable or cost efficient to unde...
