Explanation
1. BACKGROUND:
A. Need. This legislation authorizes the Director of Public Utilities to modify the professional engineering services agreement with CH2M Hill, Inc., for the Jackson Pike Wastewater Treatment Plant Disinfection Chemical Handling Facility Improvements project. The original contract was signed with BBS Corporation, which has been acquired by CH2M Hill, Inc. The CH2M Hill, Inc. modification amount requested under this ordinance is $304,161.00.
