1. BACKGROUND
This ordinance authorizes the Director of Public Utilities to enter into a contract modification with Burgess & Niple, Inc. for professional services and construction services for the JP Screening Improvements (Engineering Mod #2) project, CIP #650252-100010.

During Step 2, Detailed Design, the City determined that a new screenings facility with the proper space, redundancy, and equipment is needed to meet current wastewater standards.

A future, third modification will be requested for Step 3, Engineering Services During Construction, which will include technical project representation (TPR) duties, construction phase engineering, start-up and commissioning assistance, and record documentation.
