Title
AUTHORIZE the Chief Executive Officer to execute Modification No. 4 to Contract No. OP1405120003367 with Los Angeles Glass Company, Inc. for Glass Replacement, and Installation services in the amount of $1,440,000, increasing the contract four-year base authority from $2,795,911 to $4,235,911.

Issue

Also, this action will allow time to complete the in-depth feasibility review and cost-benefit analysis being conducted considering other alternatives providing this critical as-needed glass replacement and installation services moving forward.
