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 $200,558 for the purchase of Workrite Sit/Stand stations for the Medi-Cal Service Center in Antioch, CA. These stations will provide ergonomic support to staff who spend a large amount of their workday at their desks.
FISCAL IMPACT:
$200,558: 100% Administrative Overhead (10% County; 45% State; 45% Federal)
BACKGROUND:
The Cavallo Call Centers staff perform very repetitive work. These stations will provide ergonomic support to staff who spend a large amount of their workday at their desks. These 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.
