through a donation from the Hutchins Street Square Foundation ($50,000). The work includes

in those locations; and

Room, Battalion Chiefs' Offices and Captains' Offices), Facility Services Office and the Information
Systems Division located in the Carnegie Basement. The carpet at these locations is in very poor

recently installed at City Hall; and

No. 2865 for competitively -bid carpet and flooring installation services; and

negotiation procedures.
