Explanation

1. Background: This legislation authorizes the Director of Public Utilities to modify the professional services agreement with Chester Engineers, Inc. for the Southerly Wastewater Treatment Plant Corrosion Prevention and Protective Coating Systems Consultant project, for the Division of Sewerage and Drainage.

These services by the Design Professional would assure the coatings were properly installed.

1.3. Reason other procurement processes are not used:
Due to the highly complex and technical nature of this wastewater trea...
