Berkeley has awarded a contract worth approximately $882,000 to Azul Works Inc. for the installation of two new public restrooms and upgraded lighting at Ohlone Park in Central Berkeley. The company, tied to a past bribery scandal involving its former CEO, Balmore Hernandez, was selected based on having the lowest responsive and responsible bid among five received by the city.
