qualified engineering consultants for this service.

fee not to exceed $740,000.00. This contract is expected to provide 300 to 400 reviews over
approximately 12 months, depending on the level of development activity.
Upon completion of this contract, there is no anticipated annual operation cost to the Transportation
and Public Works (TPW) Stormwater Management Division.
This Agreement may be renewed for two additional terms.
