Explanation
1. BACKGROUND:
This legislation authorizes the Director of Public Utilities to modify the professional engineering services agreement with R. D.

The contract modification now proposed primarily provides funding for technical, field, and construction management services now needed during construction. It also provides for additional design tasks that became necessary in the course of design development and revision to incorporate best current practices in the design for construction.

The cost of the modification is a continuation of the vendor's current pricing structure, as verified by City staff. Barring unexpected delay or problems in the construction phase, this is expected to be the final modification for this contract.

The Division of Sewerage and Drainage requests that City Council concur in the designation of this ordinance as an emer...
