Dear Ms$.$ Kemp:

This is in response to your letter of last week appealing your suspension as a printing vendor for city College because of non$-$compliance with the prevailing wage requirement.

i have had both our administrative and legal staff review the circumstances surrounding the suspension, and they have recommended thhat it be reduced to $30$ days. Their is based strongly on the fact that you were not the owner of the business when violation occurred wich resulted in you suspension. In addition, your lett future jobs for City College.

Since the letter informing you of the suspension was dated $33$ days ago, thismeans that you are immediately reinstated as an approved vendor. my office, however, reserves the right to review future jobs perfomed by your company to ensure that you comply with the wage requirements and other requirements. If you have any questions or concerns about this action, please feel free to contact me$.$
