Proposal for Amendment 2 to On-Call Water
Engineering Services Contract (ESC23-026)
Dear Mr. Bonilla,
Water Systems Consulting, Inc. (WSC) is pleased to provide this proposal for Amendment 2 to the current on-call water engineering services contract (ESC23-026) to provide continued services. The original agreement, dated July 26 th, 2022, was for an initial term of 5-years, through June 30, 2027 and provided a budget allowance of $236,610. The budget allowance was later increased to $486,610 through Amendment 1, dated October 24, 2023. Due to the volume of development related studies and other on-call support services provided to date and anticipated in the future, Amendment 2 is requested to increase the budget allowance for services through the end of FY 2025-26.
An additional amendment is anticipated to provide budget for FY 2026-27, which is the end of the contract term.
The following proposal details a scope and associated budget for the tasks that are expected to be conducted under the on-call contract through the end of the contract term.
This proposal includes separate sections for FY 2025-26 budget (which is being requested as part of Amendment 2) and FY 2026-27 budget (which is anticipated to be requested in a subsequent amendment).Work will be billed on a time and material basis in accordance with the attached rate schedule and the original agreement.
