Purpose

including traffic regulation order design. Clause 27 of this
contract allows district authorities who to benefit from the
services provided by Jacobs to do so through a Joining Agreement.
Services will be commissioned on an ad hoc basis, as and when
required, and priced per request.

Decision

To enter into a Joining Agreement between
Hertfordshire County Council and Jacobs UK Limited, allowing East
Herts Council to benefit from advice and design services in
relation to traffic regulation orders and highways
matters
