SUBJECT: AGREEMENT FOR ROOM 15 FURNITURE/DESIGN SERVICES Background:
As part of the Communications & Public Affairs Department’s internal reorganization and multi- departmental workspace safety improvements, Room 15 is being redesigned to create a more collaborative and functional office environment. The updated layout will accommodate existing staff and provide shared workspaces, storage solutions, and improved technology access.
Following research, staff selected Sierra School Equipment Company through the OMNIA Partners cooperative purchasing agreement, which allows the City to “piggyback” off competitively bid contracts to streamline procurement. The proposed project includes space planning, design schematics, project management, labor, delivery, and installation of modular office furniture including cubicles and storage cabinets.
The total amount of the agreement is not to exceed $63,500.
Fiscal Impact:
The proposed agreement with Sierra School Equipment Company is in an amount not to exceed $63,500. The Communications Department has allocated funds in the Public Services Facilities Maintenance Fund in the proposed Fiscal Year 2025/26 operating budget.
