TITLE
Recommendation to authorize City Manager, or designee, to increase Blanket Purchase Order (BPO) No. BPAP17000014 with Convergint Technologies, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, for airport security system maintenance services, by $200,000 for a total amount not to exceed $400,000, and extend the term of the BPO to March 31, 2019.
