This amendment covers construction inspection and oversight services for the Phase I Water System Improvements Project, which began in January 2026 and is expected to last through summer 2027. This amendment also includes Engineering design and permitting services for the next phase of key process upgrades at I&D, including a new sedimentation basin, upgrades to the existing electrical and SCADA systems, new dewatering centrifuge, and two new elevated storage tanks in the distribution system. This Amendment also meets the City’s evolving needs in other areas, including additional support for the Georgia Environmental Finance Authority (GEFA) loan process and Engineering and Operations support.
