Title
Authorize a work order under the existing Job Order Contract, previously approved on January 9, 2019, by Resolution No. 19-0074 for construction services with Brown & Root Industrial Services, LLC for structural repairs at Fire Station No. 30 located at 11381 Zodiac Lane - Not to exceed $650,000.00 - Financing: Capital Construction Fund
