1. BACKGROUND:
This legislation authorizes modifying the professional engineering services contract with URS Corporation in connection with the Big Walnut Augmentation/Rickenbacker Interceptor Sewer Project (BWARI Part 1); the Big Walnut Outfall Augmentation Sewer Project (BWARI Part 2); and the Big Walnut Outfall Augmentation Sewer Air Quailty Control Facility Project (AQCF).
