Mr. Arness stated that the Water Quality Control Board has indicated that additional pre-design forms must be. completed and submitted before concept approval of the project can be obtained, The estimated cost of the additional work thus made necessary to be performed 11 I by the Consultant, CH2M-Hill, is $14, 082. It is recommended that Council approve an amendment to to the contract between the Shasta County Water Agency and CH2M-Hill, authorizing the preparation of the pre-design forms required, with the cost sharing betw'een the agencies to. be ori the bas,is of the' original contract formula' percentages. ; He also recommended that Council approve an amendment to the contr.act between the Shasta County Water Agency and CH2M-Hill to include the aerial photogrammetry as outlined in Robert Dietz's letters of October 7, 1975 and November 26, 1975. The $45, 875 estimated cost is grant eligible. This amendment has .been author- ized by the other participants to the cost sharing contract.

Councilman Demsher said that, historically, the City has gone to bid on projects of this nature and he would assume that this procedure would be followed with respect to Phase 2 of this project.
