SUBJECT:
On-Call Professional Service Agreements for Construction Inspection Services for Federally Funded Projects
SUMMARY:
An ordinance authorizing the execution of two On-Call Professional Service Agreements with Foster CM Group, Inc. and IDCUS, Inc., each in the amount not-to-exceed $450,000.00 per year for a term of one year with one additional one-year extension option to provide On-Call Construction Inspection Services for federally funded projects.

In support of these programs, Transportation & Capital Improvements (TCI) will assist in the delivery of infrastructure projects in specifically identified areas. These professional services may be utilized as needed during the execution of federally funded projects.
