Introduction
This report requests that the City Council award a contract

workstations will be improved by installing new fixtures and
lamps in the facility.
A notice inviting bids was published on March 7 and 8, 1988
in the Evening Outlook and in four construction journals.
Bidding documents were also forwarded to seven minority/women
