TO: Honorable City Council
FROM: Jesus M. Gomez, City Manager
BY: Allan Perdomo, Director of Recreation and Park Services Sonia Batres, Recreation Superintendent
SUBJECT: AGREEMENT FOR RECREATION FURNITURE/DESIGN SERVICES Background:
As part of the Recreation and Park Services Department’s organization and multi-departmental workspace improvements, the Norwalk Arts and Sports Complex (NASC) and the Cultural Arts Center (CAC) are being redesigned to create a more collaborative and functional office environment. The updated layout will accommodate existing staff and visitors, improving shared workspaces, public waiting areas, storage solutions, and 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 $330,800.
Fiscal Impact:
The proposed agreement with Sierra School Equipment Company is in an amount not to exceed $330,800. The Recreation and Park Services Department has allocated funds in the Norwalk Arts and Sports Complex Equipment Replacement Fund in the proposed Fiscal Year 2025/26 operating budget.
