Explanation
1. BACKGROUND: This legislation authorizes the Director of Public Utilities to modify (Mod #2) an existing professional engineering agreement with Hatch Chester (Ohio) Inc., for the Jackson Pike Waste Water Treatment Plant (JPWWTP) Facilities and Equipment Upgrade for the Whittier Street Storm Tanks (WSST) Project, CIP 650258-100001.
