completion of the engineering/design for the interim improvements of the Project on July 7, 2004,
and work is proceeding satisfactorily pursuant to the agreement; and
WHEREAS, the original scope of work to be completed by Interwest did not include the
completion of the full and complete engineering design (the "Additional Work"); and

design of the interim project is the preferred alternative in advance of the Building on Basics
proposed sales tax renewal; and

and cost-effective means of accomplishing the same and has submitted the requisite justification to
the City Manager for approval; and

Purchasing Agent; and
WHEREAS,the cost associated with the Additional Work totals$210,910, which has been
appropriated in Ordinance No. 054, 2005; and

authorizes the Purchasing Agent to contract for services without competition if the services are to
be provided through a change order to an existing professional services contract; and

competitive purchasing process for items costing more than One Hundred Thousand Dollars
($100,0000) prior to acquisition.

COLLINS that the Purchasing Agent is hereby authorized to execute an addendum to the City's
existing contract with Interwest to add the Additional Work to the scope of services to be completed
