SUBJECT: Amendment to Agreement No. 13-765 with Quincy Engineering
RECOMMENDED ACTION(S):
TITLE
Approve and authorize the Chairman to execute First Amendment to Agreement No. 13-765 with Quincy Engineering, Inc., for engineering consultant services related to the Italian Bar Bridge Replacement over Redinger Lake, Federal Project No. BRLO-5942(214) extending the maximum term by five years (three-year base contract with two optional one-year renewals), from December 10, 2018 to December 10, 2023, and increasing the maximum by $121,783 to a total of $1,458,783.

ALTERNATIVE ACTION(S):
