Dear Sir:
On October 6, 2016, the Board of Commissioners authorized the Director of Procurement and Materials Management to issue a purchase order and enter into an agreement with Greeley & Hansen LLC for professional engineering services for Contract 16-270-3P, Covered Composting System, Calumet Water Reclamation Plant, in an amount not to exceed $4,145,644.00. Contract work was completed in February 2018.
