This action does not encumber funds; the purpose of a service price agreement is to establish firm pricing for services, for a specific term, which are ordered on an as needed basis according to annual budgetary appropriations. The estimated amount is intended as guidance rather than a cap on spending under the agreement, so that actual need combined with the amount budgeted will determine the amount spent under this agreement.

The service price agreement will provide electrical pole bracing services to allow Water Utilities employees to safely administer emergency repairs to the water mains when electric poles are above or nearby the main breaks.
