1. BACKGROUND
This ordinance authorizes the Director of Public Utilities to modify an existing engineering contract with DLZ Ohio, Inc., for the East Franklinton Sewer Improvements project, CIP #650560-100000. The modification provides additional funding from the Department of Development’s West Edge II TIF (Fund 7422) for completion of engineering that is in collaboration with the East Franklinton Sewer Improvements project.
