The Board of County Commissioners waive the bid requirements in regards to services related to conducting a Comprehensive Water, Wastewater, and Reclaimed (Reuse) Water Rate Study, and Water and Sewer Impact Fee Study.  2. Authorize the Chairman to execute the Professional Services Agreements with Raftelis Financial Consultants, Inc. after review and approval by the county attorney.   3. Approve awarding the scope of services using Option 3 directing that both studies run concurrently in the interest of completing the studies within the one hundred and fifty (150) day timeline and looking at all utility rates, not just the operating fund rates.
