BACKGROUND
This legislation authorizes the Director of the Department of Development to modify a contract with Charles D Jones dba C2U Construction LLC to increase the contract amount by $15,000.00 to provide residential emergency repair services as part of the Division of Housing’s Emergency Repair Program.
Original contract amount $100,000.00 Ord. 0823-2023 PO380445

registered with the City).
