Explanation
BACKGROUND. This legislation authorizes modifying the contract for professional engineering services with Pomeroy & Associates, Ltd., transferring funds within the Storm Sewer Bond Fund; and amending the 2004 Capital Improvements Budget for the Moler Road Stormwater System Improvements Project.

Based upon an evaluation of these proposals utilizing predetermined criteria, a selection committee determined that Pomeroy & Associates, Inc. had submitted the best proposal for the required project services.
CONTRACT AMOUNT. The new contract amount including this modification is $354,388.00. The original contract amount is $314,388.00 and Modification No. 1 is $40,000.00.
