Explanation
1. BACKGROUND:
This legislation authorizes the Director of Public Service to do an unplanned modification of a professional engineering services contract with Nelson\Nygaard Consulting Services for the Roadway Improvements - Multimodal Transportation Plan design contract.

This modification is primarily for the time required to help with the Smart Cities Challenge application.
