      BUSINESS SERVICE AGREEMENTS
    2. Profession Service Industries (PSI) - Hayden Bridge Expansion Project - Water Division. This contract was approved during the June 19, 2001 Board meeting for material testing services at the Hayden Bridge Reservoir, Pumping Station and Electric Upgrade project. The contract was awarded to PSI resulting from their low bid unit prices on standard tests at estimated quantities. These services are required on an "as needed" basis, as established in their bid by unit pricing. It was on this basis, as a limited duration Price Agreement for services, that staff sought the original Board approval, but the consent item language did not adequately reflect that intent to the Board.

      The quality control program on the project requires more testing than originally estimated. Staff recommends that the material testing services contract with PSI be approved as a price agreement based on their unit prices for standard tests. The current estimated contract usage is $30,000, but the actual number of tests required for the project may be slightly more or less than the estimate. The price is consistent with current budget and will be paid with bond proceeds reserved for the project. Contact person is Ron Wilson, Senior Water Engineer, 484-2411, ext. 3224. Cost of this contract is $21,668.
    3. Goebel Engineering & Surveying, Inc.- Laurel Hill Reservoir Property Acquisition - Water Division. Professional service contract to aid the Water Division for acquiring land within City park property to construct and maintain the Laurel Hill 1.0 million gallon reservoir. This process started in early summer and the recent changes in land use code requirements have caused an expanded scope of services. The original contract was $17,000, and this contract amendment will require an additional $16,000. Total contract is $33,000. Additional funds required for this project can be accommodated within the approved 2002 capital budget for land acquisition. Project Manager is Mel Damewood, 341-1878 or E-Mail Mel Damewood
