1. BACKGROUND
This ordinance authorizes the Director of Public Utilities to enter into a planned contract modification for professional engineering services with Glaus, Pyle, Schomer, Burns & Dehaven, Inc. for the Sanitary Pump Station Evaluation & Upgrade Program, CIP #650660-100000, in an amount up to $300,000.00.
DOSD operates sixteen Stormwater Pump Stations and sixteen Sanitary Pump Stations. A Request for Proposals was issued in 2021 and the Sanitary Pump Stations contract was awarded to Glaus, Pyle, Schomer, Burns & Dehaven, Inc.
