Resolution to Approve Amendment No. 2 to the Professional Services Agreement with Malcolm Pirnie, Inc. for Design of the Facilities Renovations Project at the Wastewater Treatment Plant, ($2,691,025.00)

Renovations to the WWTP include complete demolition and replacement of the West Plant and miscellaneous renovations and improvements throughout the facility to maintain treatment viability and reliability. This work must be done without interrupting flow to the plant. MPI will produce final bid drawings (approximately 450 sheets) and specifications to be used for securing necessary permits and soliciting bids from qualified contractors. MPI will also provide support during the bid stage by generating all necessary addenda and providing contractor evaluations and recommendations of award.
