SUMMARY: The revision under
consideration was requested by the Governance Committee at its meeting of April
16, 2014. The Governance Committee also requested that the Water Authority
and/or the Water Management District undertake the preparation and
advertisement of an RFP and Scope of Work for a VE Consultant, and to make a
recommendation for selection following a review of proposals received. Since
time was of the essence, the Water Authority accepted the task, and the RFP has
now been sent out to potential consultants.
The Governance Committee will make
the final selection and the Water Authority will then award and administer the
contract.
RECOMMENDATION: The General Manager
recommends that the Administrative Committee recommend the Board of Directors
approve the amendment.
