Resolution correcting a scrivener's error by rescinding Resolution No.
SEOPW/CRA R-02-122 and authorizing the Executive Director to enter into an

Pursuant to the above cited Resolution adopted on June 27, 2002, authorized the

Associates, by increasing the contract amount from $62,600 to $95,000 and
adding Tidewater Consulting as an approved sub consultant (at an amount not to
exceed $30,000 per year for Tidewater). Through a scrivener's error, however,
the amendment did not extend the term of the contract or provide that the cost
be borne by both the SEOPW and Omni CRA's. In addition, Doug Bruce and
Associates have continued to provide the requested services with no break in
service since July 1, 2002 to date.
The total expense for this contract, retro to June 27, 2002 through June 30,
2004 is as follows:
$ 4,800.00 per month = $57,600.00 annually= $115,200.00 total for two years
$ 5,000.00 per year for expenses = $10,000.00 total for two years
$30,000.00 per year for Tidewater if authorized = $60,000.00 total two years
TOTAL AMOUNT OF CONTRACT IF TIDEWATER IS AUTHORIZED BY BOARD = $185,200.00
Grand Total for two years. Therefore, Administration is recommending that the
Board approve this Joint Resolution which will correct the scrivener's error
and extend the length of the contract through July 1, 2004.
