Summary
The First Amendment to the JPA increases the total amount by $214,705.00. This Amendment to the JPA encompasses the installation of a 2-inch PVC water main, approximately 1,160 linear feet and disposal of the existing antiquated, failing 2-inch galvanized pipe. The existing 2-inch galvanized pipe conflicts with the proposed sidewalk installation due to the insufficient depth and the age of the failing pipe.
There is an outstanding balance of $172,973.57, less applicable accrued interest, owed by City to County for the original JPA work. Thus, total amount owed to County is $388,819.10, less applicable accrued interest, and reflected in the Amendment.
