REPORT IN BRIEF
Approval is requested to amend and restate an existing contract with All City Management Services (ACMS) for crossing guard services, increasing the not to exceed value by $50,338, from $540,553 to $590,891, and revising the terms to reflect a change in contractor status as explained below.
