Request formal approval to increase the current purchase order with Vertex Roofing Contractors, Inc. by $12,000 for the Bowman House Roof replacement.

EXPLANATION AND SUMMARY:
The Department of Parks and Recreation requests approval to increase existing purchase order #20220090, with Vertex Roofing Contractors, in the amount of $12,000 for the Bowman House Roof replacement due to the change in color and specification of the roof.
