4.A. Consider approving an agreement with Olsson to provide professional services, on a time and expense basis not to exceed $8,000, for the installation of new equipment at the Main Lift Station.
Discussion:
City Administrator Tom Ourada informed the Council that you can't control the lift operation locally, so you have to drive back and forth to the plant to control it. This equipment would eliminate that issue. The Public Works Committee met on this and recommended approving the agreement.
