Background and Discussion:
Services performed under this agreement have aided in the development and maintenance of the 2018 Bond Program schedules by providing staff augmentation personnel to Flood Control. Reporting and analysis of schedules have been provided to optimize project delivery and plan for durations and cost projections of flood reduction projects. Additionally, continuous improvement of scheduling processes and support of software implementations have been provided by the staff augmentation personnel.

Expected Impact:
Continued performance of the scheduling services will be accomplished by key personnel that have worked on the 2018 Bond Program for several years as staff augmentation. Amending this agreement will allow for continuity of service and provide expertise for upcoming CDBG project delivery optimization.

Alternative Options:
No viable alternatives exist, as the performance of these services are reliant upon the assigned personnel from Atkins.
