This could include but is not limited to, adopting an alternative service model, which would be detailed in a new Addendum for each additional site.

 

The first such Addendum pertains to providing services at the Kashmere Multi-Service Center, located at 4802 Lockwood Dr., Houston, Texas 77026-2941 for the General Services Department.
