Services include on-call assistance for MWELO related building permit plan review and ordinance conformance review for projects that include over 2,500 square feet of landscape improvements, and for other MWELO related consultation.
Staff recommends authorizing Interim City Manager to execute a three-year PSA, with the option of two one-year extensions, with O’Dell Engineering, Inc., of Modesto, for on-call landscape architectural services, in an amount not-to-exceed $100,000.
