1. BACKGROUND: This legislation authorizes the Director of Public Utilities to enter into an engineering agreement with Andover Associates for professional engineering services for the Southerly Wastewater Treatment Plant (SWWTP) Post Aeration Diffuser Replacement project, CIP 650354-100000. Andover Associates will provide Preliminary Design Services (Step 1), Detailed Design and Bidding Services (Step 2), and Services During Construction (Step 3) during this contract.
