Explanation
1. BACKGROUND: This Ordinance authorizes the Director of Public Utilities to modify and increase the professional engineering services agreement with Burgess and Niple, Inc. for the Bethel Road Booster Station Improvements Project, for the Division of Water Contract No. 1122.
This project consists of two phases. Phase One was legislated under original agreement, EL009190 (Ordinance No. 2012-2008), and consisted of studying two booster stations, Bethel and Henderson; evaluating alternatives that would best utilize the stations; and improving system efficiencies.
