BODY
WHEREAS, The City of Gahanna previously entered into a professional services contract with Fishbeck for design, construction administration, construction inspection (CA/CI), and related services for the Taylor Road Waterline Replacement Project, identified as ST-1121 / WA-24-01; and
WHEREAS, The original contract amount was Two Hundred Forty-Two Thousand Four Hundred Dollars ($242,400.00), which did not include services related to the addition of sidewalks along Taylor Road, as those improvements were not part of the original project scope; and
