The IGA was executed pursuant to authority under PCC 5.33.040. On August 2022, amendment 4 to the IGA extended the IGA for another one-year term and provided additional compensation.
- PPS has expressed an interest in continuing to utilize the City’s services to collect and report on workforce data on select PPS construction projects.

- The City has the expertise to provide the service support to PPS and providing external services to PPS will not detriment or diminish the capacity, quality or quantity of the work and services that the City does for itself in this area.
