Adds $198,000 and a year to Lowe Consulting's labor-agreement compliance work for facilities projects

This third amendment adds $198,000 to Lowe Consulting Group's contract for Project Labor Agreement services, which focus on hiring local residents and union representation and on monitoring prevailing wages and local apprentices. The attached amendment shows the not-to-exceed amount going from $558,000 to $756,000 (the agenda text says $588,000), and the term is extended 365 days, from June 30, 2022 to June 30, 2023. All other terms stay the same.

Plain-English summary written by AI from the official text. Reviewed Oct 4, 2026

Corrected Oct 4, 2026: The prior not-to-exceed amount was first shown as $588,000 as printed in the agenda text; the attached amendment shows $558,000, so it is corrected here. The $198,000 increase and $756,000 new total are unchanged.

Discrepancy from the official text. The text gives the prior not-to-exceed amount as $588,000, but $588,000 plus the $198,000 increase is $786,000, not the stated $756,000; the attached amendment shows the prior amount was $558,000. (Confirmed by a reviewer.)

Notes on the official text

A second reading of the official text found a previous total of $588,000.
