WHEREAS, At the time of award of the design and construction assistance contract the scope of work was not clearly known and provided for only design and construction bidding assistance. Now that the project has been designed and the full scope of work regarding construction inspection is known, the original contract with BEESC needs to be modified to include all required construction inspection work; and

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the City Council of Homer, Alaska, hereby approves the modification to the BEESC contract for bid preparation/construction assistance services for the Homer Sanitary Sewer Rehabilitation Project increasing the maximum contract amount to $112,000 and that the City Manager is hereby authorized to execute the appropriate documents.
