Amount of additional funds to be expended: $20,000.00
Reasons additional goods/services could not be foreseen: This is a planned modification to provide funding for services needed until such time that additional funds are available in the 2010 budget.

It is necessary to increase funding in order that services may continue as needed for the daily operation of the division.
How cost of modification was determined: The cost is based upon the estimated needs at the rates in the existing contract.
