Agenda Text
The Board is requested to approve Capital Project Ordinance Amendment No. 20CPA000002 appropriating authorized Limited Obligation Bond (LOBs) funds of $12,685,000 to create a new Capital project for design and construction of the Snow Hill Road Pump Station and Force Main Replacement Project and to authorize the County Manager to execute a contract with Wharton-Smith, Inc. to provide Pre-Construction Services for the Snow Hill Road Pump Station and Force Main Replacement Project, located in the Treyburn business district for a fee $1,899,449.90.
