Background and Discussion:
Consultant is the On-Call Professional Services provider for the Countywide Emergency Outfall Repairs and Replacement program. Due to increase in number of emergency repairs requested and professional services needed therein, additional funding is needed to maintain level of service to the clients and PCTs across the increased number of projects.
Expected Impact:
We'll be able to maintain the current level of emergency repair and related professional services, until the contract renews. Caveat that a major weather event may cause an influx of additional projects.
