Explanation

1. Background: This legislation authorizes the Director of Public Utilities to enter into a professional services agreement with H. R. Gray & Associates, Inc. for the Wastewater Treatment Facilities Professional Construction Management project for 2012-2016 for the Division of Sewerage and Drainage.

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.

The three construction contracts included in this initial agreement are as follows:

CIP 650347-100001 - WWTP's CSO Reduction Improvements - $246,379.00
