SUBJECT
recommendation
Authorize funding in the amount of $1,493,100 to Black & Veatch Corporation for an engineering services agreement (ESA) for final engineering design services of the Transmission System Valve Improvements project.
end
PURPOSE
The purpose of the project is to design the installation of new valves or replacement of some existing valves at 15 different high-priority locations within the Water Transmission System. These critical isolation valves are essential to ensuring system reliability, operational flexibility, and safety by allowing for the effective isolation of pipeline segments during system shutdowns.
RECOMMENDATION
The Executive Director and NTMWD staff recommend the Board of Directors authorize the Executive Director to execute an engineering services agreement (ESA) as follows:
