BACKGROUND. This legislation authorizes modifying the contract for professional engineering services with Fuller, Mossbarger, Scott, and May Engineers, Inc., for the Skyline Drive Stormwater System Improvements Project.
This contract modification is necessary to allow payment for additional engineering services that are beyond the original contract scope.

Delays to the contract resulted from discussions with the Franklin County Board of Health about impacts to home septic
disposal systems that will remain in the county once this project is complete.
