Discuss, consider and take appropriate action on a Contract Amendment No. 5 to the Forest North Drainage contract between Williamson County and K Friese & Associates, Inc. relating to the 2013 Road Bond Program. Project: P225. Funding Source: Road Bonds.

K Friese + Associates original PSA was executed on 09/16/2013 and did not include the price adjustment language that is used in current road bond contracts.  The proposed rates reflect an increase that is consistent the U.S. Department of Labor Consumer Price Index (CPI-U) for All Urban Consumers, All Items, South Region (Base 1982-94 = 100) as allowed in the current engineering contract language.
 
Due to pay increases to staff over a period of 6 years, since the contract was executed, the original rates are no longer adequate.  Once the contract is amended, a supplemental work authorization will be issued to update and finalize the Forest North Drainage Phase 3 plans so that the project will be ready to advertise for construction, when funding becomes available.
