Camp Dresser & McKee Inc. is presently providing Indian River County with continuing services in our wastewater operations and has submitted the attached scope of services and cost estimate for preparation of the required applications to the Department of Environmental Regulation. RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends that the Board approve the scope of services and authorize staff to have Camp Dresser & McKee Inc. proceed with the preparation a4d submittal of the applications for permit. Commissioner Wodtke questioned the hourly charges set out by Camp Dresser & McKee in their Scope of Services, specifically, $28 an hour for a secretary.
