SUBJECT:
A resolution to amend purchase order no. 276846 to provide landscape architecture construction assistance for the Green Infrastructure for CSO Control IGIG Project by Hey and Associates.

On May 15, 2014 the Purchasing Division executed a time and material contract with Hey and Associates in the amount not to exceed $24,500.00 to provide landscape architecture construction inspection assistance during the installation of the raingardens.
