SUMMARY
On August 11, 2015, the City Council approved an agreement with Atkins North America, Inc. (Atkins) in the amount of $175,000 to provide consultant services for developing a Telegraph Canyon Channel Nexus Study. As the work on the study progressed, it became evident that additional work would be needed beyond the original scope of work. As a result, staff recommends an appropriation of $106,660 to increase the Atkins agreement to account for necessary additional consultant services and to cover land surveying and staff costs.
