Explanation
1. BACKGROUND: This Ordinance authorizes the Director of Public Utilities to modify and increase the professional engineering services agreement with Burgess and Niple, Inc. for the Hap Cremean Water Plant (HCWP) Treatment Improvements - Detailed Design Project, for the Division of Power and Water Contract No. 1151.
