WHEREAS the total cost of the Information Technology Second Floor Remodeling Project is $473,734, including $61,791 for contingency; and WHEREAS funding in the amount of $473,734 for the Information Technology 2nd Floor Remodeling Project is available for transfer from the FY2016-25 Capital Improvement Program/Building Fund (#40100) to the Project Work Order Fund (#40400).
