Agenda Date: January 20, 2026

Statement of Issue: Perteet, Inc has provided Public Works staff with technical support for the siting of a
replacement transfer station since December of 2023. With the initial scope of work at or nearing

planning process to include 10% of design completion and cost estimating.

Agreement, anticipating that a Supplemental Agreement would be necessary if additional work from
Perteet, Inc. was desired to further advance the planning project.
Fiscal Impact/Cost Benefit Analysis: The consultant fees within the Supplemental Agreement are
budgeted for in the 2026 Solid Waste Enterprise Fund budget. Spending revisions within the original
budget have been made twice as the planning process has evolved and these adjustments, along with the
new maximum payable amounts by task area, are shown in the table below.
