1. BACKGROUND
This legislation authorizes the Director of Public Service to modify a professional services contract with E.L. Robinson Engineering of Ohio Company to add additional funds for design of the ADA Ramp Projects - 2018 General Engineering project.
Ordinance 1304-2018 authorized the Director of Public Service to enter into a professional services contract with E.L.
