Resolution to Approve Amendment 2 to the Professional Services Agreement for Work Related to the Environmental Assessment Study for the Safety Extension of Runway 6/24 at the Ann Arbor Municipal Airport with Mead & Hunt Inc. ($156,765.71)
Memorandum
Attached for your consideration is a resolution to approve the second amendment to the Professional Services Agreement, dated December 3, 2018, with Mead & Hunt Inc., Lansing Michigan.
