RECOMMENDATION(S):
Approve and authorize the Purchasing Agent on behalf of the Health Services Department, to execute a Purchase Order with Allsteel Corporation, in an amount not to exceed $168,298.93 for seating and work stations for the period April 1, 2015 through March 31, 2016.
FISCAL IMPACT:
100% Funding is included in the Enterprise Fund I Budget.
BACKGROUND:
Portions of the Health Services Department (HSD) Information Technology (IT) Unit moved into 2530 Arnold, Suite 350, previously occupied by the Office of Revenue and Collections. The suite requires new office furniture in order to create a more efficient working environment. This project will also allow more staff to be relocated from other HSD IT locations thereby making former spaces available for other functions.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
Not allowing HSD IT to renovate dysfunctional space will have an adverse impact on the ability to co-locate work teams and enhance productivity.
