Explanation
1. BACKGROUND
This ordinance authorizes the Director of Public Utilities to enter into a planned contract renewal for professional engineering services with Hatch Associates Consultants, Inc., for the Stormwater Pump Stations Evaluation & Upgrade Program project, CIP #611660-100000, in an amount up to $300,000.00.

This project provides for a holistic evaluation of each pump station, assessing their structural, mechanical, process, electrical, and other components, identifying needs and improvements, and identifying risks and safety issues. The evaluation and assessments for each pump station will be summarized into a Technical Memorandum (TM). The recommended improvements listed in the Technical Memorandums will be refined into Improvement Plans that will be used by the City to systematically upgrade the pump stations.
