Summary
Council approved an amendment to the Rivers and Associates engineering agreement for the lead service line inventory, citing unanticipated difficult access and additional service connections; a $50,000 purchase order was authorized to cover the added work.
Washington City Council approved an amendment to the engineering agreement with Rivers and Associates related to the lead service line inventory during its Nov. 10 meeting. City staff said the amendment is necessary to cover additional services required because of difficult access and more service connections than originally anticipated.
The council approved the amendment and authorized a subsequent purchase order in the amount of $50,000 to cover the extra work. Jonathan Russell, the city manager, presented the background noting the city previously accepted funding and executed the original agreement on Sept. 9, 2024. The motion to approve the amendment was moved by Mayor Pro tem Anthony Tyre, seconded by Councilmember William Pitt, and passed with all members voting yes.
The amendment covers the additional engineering services only; meeting materials did not list a detailed scope or timeline for the added tasks. City staff will implement the amended agreement under the terms presented to council.
