Explanation
1. BACKGROUND
This ordinance authorizes the Director of Public Service to modify a professional services contract with Korda/Nemeth Engineering to add additional funds for design of the Operation Sidewalks - School Sidewalks - Hilltop project.
Ordinance No. 2617-2018 authorized the Director of Public Service to enter into a professional services contract with Korda/Nemeth Engineering for the Operation Sidewalks - School Sidewalks - Hilltop project. The Operation Sidewalks - School Sidewalks - Hilltop project will install sidewalk along residential streets surrounding West High School, Highland Elementary School, and West Broad Elementary School. This ordinance authorizes the Director of Public Service to modify the contract in the amount of $190,000.00.

The total of Modification No. 1: $190,000.00 (This Ordinance)
The contract amount including all modifications: $990,000.00
