end
PURPOSE/ACTION REQUESTED
Authorize a new contract with KLJ Engineering LLC to replace expired contract (DCA22148) and extend design services into 2029 for County Project (CP) 2000233.
SUMMARY
The original contract had an expiration date of December 31, 2025, and due to staff oversight the contract was inadvertently allowed to expire while scope and work required of KLJ Engineering LLC, is still needed to complete the CP 2000233 preliminary design project. This request creates a new contract to continue the scope of services while extending the date, but the budget does not change.
