The original contract with NOCUTS was signed <br />January 7, 1997 with Board approval. NOCUTS has sent an amendment to the contract <br />to specify a termination date. The costs per locate remain the same. <br />RECOMMENDATION: <br />Staff recommends that the Board authorize the Chairman to sign the attached <br />Amendment No. 1 to Contract for Underground Facilities Locating and Marking <br />Services. It sets the termination date at September 30, 2000 with two optional one year <br />extensions for aaotal term of contract of nearly three years. <br />ON MOTION by Commissioner Grin, SECONDED BY <br />Commissioner Stanbridge, the Board unanimously authorized <br />the Chairman to execute Amendment No. 1 to Contract for <br />Underground Facilities Locating and Marking Services, setting <br />March 7, 2000 <br />37 <br />BOOK F fuF 4.!': ;"i <br />
