| | | | | | | | DISCUSSION
Severe 2017 winter storms caused widespread damage to County roads. Repair costs may be eligible for federal reimbursement. On October 1, 2017, the County entered into an agreement with Area West Environmental for environmental services. The initial agreement was for on-call services with maximum compensation not to exceed $150,000. Scope and compensation are delineated in task orders as projects are identified and gain federal concurrence. Currently identified environmental service needs on the 2017 storm damage projects total $173,220. Staff recommends increasing maximum compensation under the contract to $200,000. |
