RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Purchasing Agent on behalf of Employment and Human Services Department (EHSD) to execute a Purchase Order with Sam Clar Office Furniture Inc. in the amount of $415,359 for the purchase of Sit/Stand stations for various EHSD sites for the period May 5, 2016 through June 17, 2016. (10% County, 45% State, 45% Federal)

FISCAL IMPACT:

$415,359: Administrative Overhead; 10% County, 45% State, 45% Federal.

BACKGROUND:

Purchase of Sit-Stand stations is a preventive measure to offset the possibility of injuries due to prolonged sitting and repetitive movements. 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. The Sit-Stand stations will be introduced to employee's workstation as work is being performed in updating space per the department's new long-term facility space plan.

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:

Without approval of the Purchase Order, Employment and Human Services could not provide Sit/Stand stations for various EHSD sites.
