The agreement was initially executed under the County Administrator’s delegated authority with a maximum contract amount of $74,999.

The proposed Second Amendment would increase the contract amount by $60,002, for a new maximum amount of $210,000.

All other terms and conditions of the agreement remain unchanged.
