This contract covers the purchase of two 20” Diameter Center Pier, 304SS, and for Evoqua Installation & Start-up (1) Center Piers, and the Inspection & Start-up (1) Center Piers. The contract term will be from the date of execution by the City through the satisfactory completion of work and final payment of all invoices. The maximum obligation of the City, for parts and service described in this agreement, is limited to the amount of $142,104.00.
