The original scope of services included an alignment study, the preparation of 60% design plans and specification for the proposed force main, lift stations site selection, design survey, geotechnical investigations, easement document preparation, and coordination with various agencies. The agreement was subsequently revised by Amendment No. 1 in the amount of $99,851.00 authorized administratively February 7, 2024, that provided additional topographic and archaeological survey, Amendment No. 2 in the amount of $2,159,580.00 authorized May 14, 2024 (M&C 24-0421) that provided for final design, geotechnical investigations, slope stability study, gabion structures design, storm water modeling for lift station sites, and environmental permitting, and Amendment No. 3 in the amount of $77,162.00 authorized administratively on September 6, 2025 that provided for additional design due to changes in developing properties, additional fee for survey, right of way and easement preparation, and environmental permitting.

In addition to the contract amount, $2,700,000.00 is required for real property acquisitions, project management and material testing. It is the practice of the Water Department to appropriate its Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) throughout the Fiscal Year, instead of within the annual budget ordinance, as projects commence, additional funding needs are identified, and to comply with bond covenants. Available cash within the Water and Sewer portfolio and the City's portfolio along with the appropriation authority authorized under the Callable Commercial Paper Program (CP) will be used to provide interim financing for this project until debt is issued. Once debt associated with this project is sold, bond proceeds will be used to reimburse the Water and Sewer portfolio and the City's portfolio in accordance with the attached Reimbursement Resolution. Funding is budgeted in the Commercial Paper project within the W&S Commercial Paper Fund for the purpose of funding the MC LS Site & FM Align project.
