Explanation
This ordinance is to authorize the Director of the Recreation and Parks Department to modify the contract with Burgess & Niple, Inc. for additional services to finalize the VAP documentation, review and research, and OEPA additional information request for Saunders Park.
Background: This additional work by Burgess & Niple was not covered in the existing contract. In order to finalize the required Covenant Not to Sue and close out the Saunders VAP project with OEPA, we must complete this work.

The modification will increase the current cost of the project of $531,000.00 by adding $19,700.00 and for a new project total of $550,700.00.
