Electrical components, conduit and wiring that provide power, lighting and service receptacles at each of the eight primary tanks are in deteriorated condition and need replacement as well.

The amount of this modification is $704,230.00, for a new amended contract total of $3,375,130.00. The modification will also extend the duration of the contract an additional 60 days to provide for this work. This legislation also provides for amending the 2003 Capital Improvements Budget.
