Explanation
BACKGROUND: This legislation authorizes the Director of Public Utilities to modify an existing engineering agreement with Korda/Nemeth Engineering, Inc. for the Blueprint Hilltop 4 Highland/Harris Integrated Solutions Project. It is the objective of the City to mitigate DSRs (Designed Sewer Relief) overflows throughout the City’s collection system to the 10-year level of service. The City will evaluate and determine if this is best accomplished by eliminating inflow and infiltration into sanitary sewers, and constructing green infrastructure to retain and treat the resulting storm water.

1.2 Reasons additional goods/services could not be foreseen.
This modification was anticipated.
1.3 Reason other procurement processes are not used:

Also delays would put the City at risk of missing consent order deadlines.

A scope of services, consistent with the original proposal and contract, was developed and fee was negotiated between the City and consultant.
PROJECT TIMELINE: It is anticipated that this modification will be for a term of 2 years.
EMERGENCY DESIGNATION: Emergency designation is not requested at this time.
