Title
Chief Administrative Office, Procurement and Contracts Division, recommending the Board approve and authorize the Purchasing Agent to sign the First Amendment to Agreement for Services 3683 with Hunt and Sons, Inc. increasing the maximum compensation by $200,000 for a total not-to-exceed amount of $1,200,000 for the provision of commercial cardlock fueling services with no change to the term.
FUNDING: General and Non-General Fund.
