On October 15, 2015, the Board authorized the General Manager to enter into an agreement with Towill,
Inc., a land surveying company, for surveying support on a number of projects. This agreement was a
one-year agreement with a District right to extend for a second year based on Towill's performance with a
not -to -exceed cost ceiling of $350,000. A number of specific projects were referenced in the position
paper. The second year of the contract is scheduled to expire in November of this year. However, several
of the listed projects have not been completed and will continue into 2018 beyond the current expiration
date. Staff intends to extend this agreement for one more year in order to allow Towill to complete these
projects within the cost ceiling set forth in the Board authorization and the existing contract.
