Explanation
1. BACKGROUND: This legislation authorizes the Director of Public Utilities to modify (Mod #1) and increase an existing engineering agreement with American Structurepoint, Inc. for the Center Large Diameter Condition Assessment Project, CIP 650725-100009. The purpose of the Center Large Diameter Condition Assessment is to perform a sewer condition assessment of all combined sewers larger than 36” in the downtown area as well as sanitary sewers 36” and larger that have not been previously televised to determine the debris accumulation and structure integrity of the pipes. The scope of work for this modification will include the subsequent investigations required in order to obtain additional data for the project plans, the completion of the construction drawings, bidding of the work, engineering services during construction, and completion of record plan drawings once construction is completed.

1.4. How cost of modification was determined:
The costs were determined through negotiations with the consultant based on the scope of services required.
2. THE PROJECT TIMELINE: It is anticipated that it will take 12 months to complete the project plans and advertise the project for construction.
