WHEREAS,on October 13,2009,the City Council approved a professional services agreement with

of a"master agreement"that contains all of the legal terms and conditions, and a series of"task orders"that
describe the specific scope of work and associated fees; and,
WHEREAS,the use of"task orders"allows the engineering work to be authorized in segments as the
project progresses; and,

with FOX Engineering for the final and most substantial phase of the project, namely, construction of the
improvements; and,
WHEREAS, it is envisioned that the project will be bid in three distinct and separate contracts, and
FOX has proposed three separate Task Orders, one for each bidding contract; and,
WHEREAS, Task Order 4.1 is for the design,bidding, and construction phases of the actual water
treatment facility; Task Order 4.2 is for the design, bidding, and construction phases of the lime pond

existing lime ponds and high service pump station; and,
