Staff has been working with Facility Systems on the above proposed <br />modifications. Facility Systems offers the Herman Miller line of <br />modular furnishing through the State Purchasing contract. By <br />working through the State Purchasing Program the City can avoid <br />the bidding process and yet can be assured of receiving quality <br />furnishing at a very reasonable price. <br /> <br />Council should note that the majority of the cost for these <br />modifications is for the addition of four modular offices. This <br />includes furniture, fixtures, walls, electrical work and installation of <br />all furniture, fixtures and equipment. In essence the city is <br />constructing 4 new offices, furnishing 7 workstations and modifying <br />two workstations. If the city was not enrolled in the State <br />Cooperative Purchasing contract, these modifications would cost <br />$67,978.93. Staff feels that city is receiving an excellent quality of <br />furniture for a very good price. Council should also note that the <br />Herman Miller furniture is the furniture that was installed in the <br />city offices during the time of original construction. <br /> <br />Funding for this anticipated expansion of office space was planned <br />during the initial building of the city hall. Staff recommends that <br />Council authorize the expenditure of funds to complete the proposed <br />modifications as stated in this memo. <br /> <br />COUNCIL ACTION: <br /> <br />Council motion to authorize the expenditure of funds to complete <br />the proposed modifications as stated in this memo. <br /> <br />s:\council\furnit.doc <br /> <br /> <br />
