Kansas City’s Water Services Director is authorized to execute a $12,000,000 design professional services contract with Burns & McDonnell Engineering Company, Inc. for FY27 Smart Sewer Program Management Services. The ordinance has an accelerated effective date, indicating that program management activities are expected to commence quickly.
