1. BACKGROUND
This ordinance authorizes the Director of Columbus Water and Power to enter into a contract modification with Danbert, Inc., for public sanitary sewers for the Blueprint Hilltop - Eureka/Fremont Area Integrated Solution, Permeable Pavers, Water Line Improvements, & Resurfacing project, CIP 650870-100802, 650870-153002, 690236-100143 & 530282-100147, in an amount up to $40,000.00.
