Design Contract Amendment for the Howard W. Peak Greenway Trail System


SUMMARY:

This ordinance authorizes an amendment of a Professional Services Agreement in the amount of $620,000.00 and authorizes payment for $60,000.00 in contingency and up to $60,000.00 in required project fees from the 2015 Proposition 2 Sales Tax Initiative to Bain Medina Bain, Inc. in the total amount of $740,000.00 to provide design and construction administration for an additional 3.5-mile extension of the Howard W.
