Resolution to Approve Second Amendment to Professional Services Agreement with Fishbeck, Thompson, Carr & Huber, Inc. for General Civil Engineering Services ($148,176.00)
Memorandum
This is to recommend approval of the attached resolution authorizing a second amendment to the Professional Services Agreement with Fishbeck, Thompson, Carr & Huber, Inc. (FTCH) for additional civil engineering services.
The original professional services agreement with FTCH was approved by City Council in June 2011 (see attached resolution R-11-227) for $85,000.00 plus $35,000.00 in contingencies to provide civil engineering support to the City of Ann Arbor Project Management Services Unit.
