1. BACKGROUND:
A. Need. This legislation authorizes the Director of Public Utilities to modify the professional engineering services agreement with Burgess & Niple, Inc., for the Jackson Pike Wastewater Treatment Plant New Headworks Project, for the Division of Sewerage and Drainage. Engineering services for this project are being funded incrementally by contract modification as portions of the work are undertaken to advance the project through planning, engineering design and construction of facilities. This modification provides engineering services for the project improvements at the Jackson Pike Wastewater Treatment Plant and provides for the construction of headworks improvements.

The cost of the modification is a continuation of the vendor's current pricing structure, as verified by City staff. The Division has determined that these services cannot be performed by City personnel at this time, and has planned for the procurement of these services on a routine basis.
