To retain the services of and enable timely payment to GradeTech Inc., A. Teichert & Son, Inc., Kerex Engineering, Inc., and McGuire and Hester, the Public Works Director recommends that the Board approve Contract Amendment #1 and authorize the Public Works Director, or designee, to sign Contract Amendment #1 for the County. This amendment will extend the completion dates for each contract from May 12, 2021 to May 12, 2022. There are no changes to the maximum payment limits.
Failure to approve the contract amendment may prevent the Public Works Department from completing routine and emergency road, flood control, and airport maintenance work in a timely manner.
