RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Purchasing Agent, on behalf of the Employment and Human Services Department, to execute a Purchase Order with Sam Clar Office Furniture in the amount of $214,027 for the purchase of Workrite Sit/Stand stations for the new centralized mail processing center in Concord, CA. This is a new site that does not currently have furniture.

FISCAL IMPACT:

$214,026: 100% Administrative Overhead (10% County; 45% State; 45% Federal)

BACKGROUND:

The Stanwell Mail Center site currently does not have furniture. This purchase order will help furnish the facility. The stations will allow staff who spend much of their workday at a desk to be able to change from a sitting position to a standing position. Periods of standing while at work may help to relieve pressure on the lower back and legs.

BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)

In accordance with Administrative Bulletin No. 611.0, County Departments are required to get Board approval for single item purchases greater than $100,000.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

The Stanwell Call Center will not have adequate staff furniture.
