Explanation
BACKGROUND:
This ordinance authorizes the Finance and Management Director to enter into a contract, modify a contract, and establish several purchase orders for the Office of Construction Management for the renovation of the interior offices at 1111 East Broad Street. These offices will be occupied by the Recreation and Parks Department, Technology Department, the 3-1-1 Call Center, and the Community Relations Commission (CRC). Besides providing office spaces more conducive to the operations of the 3-1-1 Call Center and the CRC, this relocation will consolidate offices of the Recreation and Parks Department and the Technology Department respectively, thereby allowing for departmental leadership to be co-located with staff and functions. The move will also allow the development of a park by Metro Parks on the Whittier Peninsula where current Recreation and Parks Department offices are located.

The renovation will consist of preparing office space for the above-mentioned departments.
