Explanation
1. BACKGROUND: This Ordinance authorizes the Director of Public Utilities to renew the professional engineering services agreement with Black and Veatch Corporation for the Hap Cremean Water Plant Intake Structure and Low Head Dam Rehabilitation Project, Capital Improvements Project No. 690511-100000, Division of Water Contract No. 2086.
The overall agreement will provide professional engineering services for the Hap Cremean Water Plant (HCWP) Intake Structure and Low Head Dam improvements, CIP No. 690511-100000, Contract No. 2086.
Under the original agreement, Step 1 - Condition Assessment & Preliminary Design was performed.
