RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Purchasing Agent, or designee, to execute, on behalf of the Public Works Director, a purchase order with Sam Clar Office Furniture Inc./Allsteel, in the amount of $201,448.87 for office furniture, for the Renovations and Remodeling at the Contra Costa County Finance Building, 625 Court Street, Martinez Project.

FISCAL IMPACT:

100% General Fund.

BACKGROUND:

The County Finance Building at 625 Court Street is undergoing a major renovation and remodeling. The building houses the Audit-Controller’s office staff who currently are utilizing furniture which is out dated and disjointed. New furniture is required in order to create a more efficient and cohesive work environment improving efficiency and adding additional work space.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

Not allowing the Auditor-Controller's Office to renovate their work space will maintain an inefficient and antiquated work environment and have an adverse impact on staff and the ability to add functional work space.
