Title
Authorizing the Mayor and the City Clerk to execute Amendment No. 1 to the existing Purchase of Services contract between the City of Madison and MSA Professional Services, Inc. for engineering services for the Starkweather Creek Watershed Study.

Body
The City of Madison Engineering Division is conducting watershed and flood studies as a result of extreme rain events over the past several years. The City entered into an agreement with MSA Professional Services for engineering services related to flooding evaluation in the Starkweather Creek Watershed (RES-25-00393). As part of this contract MSA Professional Services, Inc. reviewed previously constructed watershed models of Starkweather Creek built by others. It was found the models were insufficient to meet the City’s objectives and additional effort was needed prior to calibration and flood mapping. Therefore, the City Engineer has authorized a higher level of effort to complete the model construction as part of the Starkweather Creek Watershed Study.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Mayor and City Clerk are hereby authorized to execute Amendment 1 to the contract between the City of Madison and MSA Professional Services, Inc for additional engineering services for the Starkweather Creek Watershed Study.
