WHEREAS, the original Agreement was based on an estimate of services to be provided; and

WHEREAS, the scope of the work required under this Agreement has subsequently increased, thereby necessitating a further amendment to the agreement; and

WHEREAS, it is necessary to increase the amount and effective period of the contract to complete the building commissioning and;
