1. BACKGROUND
This ordinance authorizes the Director of Public Utilities to modify the professional engineering services agreement with EP Ferris & Associates, Inc. for the Petzinger Road Storm Water Improvements project (CIP 610739-100000), in an amount up to $56,839.94, to include changes to our design standards in the construction plans.
