Explanation
BACKGROUND: This ordinance authorizes the Finance and Management Director to enter into contract for the Office of Construction Management with 2K General Company, for renovation of the Division of Police Substations 2/18, 8, 9, and 11/13.

The scope of work will include, but is not limited to, locker replacement, carpentry, ceramic tile repair, masonry repair, painting and patching, electrical repair, lighting replacement, shrub and tree removal, ceiling tile replacement, installation of window treatment, and clean-up removal of equipment or debris.

In an effort to minimize cost, the Office of Construction Management will perform professional services (design and construction management) internally.
