An Ordinance authorizing the execution of Modification No. 1 to agreement dated June 28, 2021 (RFQ No. 2021-063) for professional engineering services for Water Master Plan with Burns and McDonnell Engineering Company, Inc., for an increase of $53,545 with an amended not to exceed amount of $303,245, and authorizing the City Manager to enter into an agreement for the same.

-A portion of the this modification will pay the consultant for rework necessary to calibrate the model.
-As part of the original scope Water Utilities opted not to do a funding study with this project.
-The ARPA, Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act and several other funding opportunities have convinced us that was short sighted.
-Part of this scope of services will cover potential state and federal funding options for the projects created by this master plan as well as the other existing projects currently existing in the Water and Sewer CIP.
