Explanation
1. BACKGROUND: This ordinance authorizes the Director of Public Utilities to modify and increase the Hap Cremean Water Plant Sludge Lagoon Improvements agreement with ms consultants, inc. for the Division of Power and Water, Contract No. 1030.
This current modification (#4) will provide for construction administration / construction inspection services for Part 5 of the project (clean Lagoon 3 and abandon or fill Lagoon 3). The division anticipates that no further modifications will be needed for the final project phase.

1.2. Reasons additional goods/services could not be foreseen:
The authorizing legislation for Modification #3 (0391-2011) indicated the intent to modify the contract for this future phase of the project.
1.3. Reason other procurement processes are not used:
The consultant team is very familiar with the details of the project, the approving agencies and the bid documents. The process of selecting and contracting with a new consultant team at this time would further delay the project. The consultant is familiar with the details of the project and will be able to implement the work more efficiently than if another consultant were brought on board mid-way through the project.
1.4. How cost of modification was determined:
The Consultant prepared a detailed estimate of the cost per task for the remaining scope of work, broken down by project phase. City Project management staff reviewed and approved these cost summaries.
