Explanation
BACKGROUND: This legislation authorizes the Finance and Management Director to modify a contract on behalf of the Office of Construction Management with General Temperature Control, Inc. for HVAC and interior lighting upgrades and retrofitting for the Central Police Headquarters Building, 120 Marconi Boulevard.
