Resolution 2010-3 Amendment B-2009/2010 Snow and Ice Agreement
Proposed Action: Amendment B to revise the 2009/2010 Snow and Ice Agreement
Whereas, due to the severity of the winter during the 2009/2010 season, this municipality request that the Municipal Snow and Ice Agreement estimated expenditure be revised to reflect the additional lane miles of state roads that were plowed and or treated during the afore mentioned season, and
Whereas, all terms and conditions of the original contract extension remain in effect except the original estimated expenditure of $49,867.52 will have an index adjustment of $9,574.56 for a revised estimated expenditure of $59,442.08, and
