Explanation
BACKGROUND: This Ordinance authorizes the Director of Public Utilities to modify and increase the General Engineering Services agreement with Glaus, Pyle, Schomer, Burns and Dehaven dba GPD Group, Inc., for the Division of Power, in the amount of $250,000,00.
This is an unplanned modification, which exceeds the original project and its two planned modifications. This project was advertised via a new Request for Proposals (RFQ018659) in May 2021. No proposals were submitted. The Division will use the current General Engineering Services agreement with Glaus, Pyle, Schomer, Burns and Dehaven dba GPD Group, Inc. for said services.
The planning area is “99”, Citywide.

Modification No. 4 (current): $ 250,000.00 (PO TBD)
Total (Orig. + Mods 1-4): $ 1,000,250.00
