TITLE
Recommendation to authorize City Manager to amend Contract No. 30226 with Nuvis, Inc., to extend current landscape architectural services through August 31, 2012. No additional funds will be added to the existing contract. (Districts 7,8)
DISCUSSION
Nuvis, Inc., (Nuvis) was one of eight consultants awarded a contract by the City Council for as-needed landscape architectural services on December 19, 2006.
