RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Purchasing Agent, or designee to execute, on behalf of the Department of Child Support Services (DCSS), a purchase order with Allsteel, in care of Sam Clar Office Furniture Inc. in an amount not to exceed $825,514 for the purchase, delivery, and installation of Sit-Stand stations as well as work surfaces, pedestals, office landscape partitioning and other office furniture for the department's office refresh project.

FISCAL IMPACT:

This project will be fully funded by allocations from the Federal Government at 66% and State of California at 34%.

BACKGROUND:

The purchase of 123 Sit-Stand workstations is a preventive measure to offset the possibility of injuries due to prolonged sitting and repetitive movements. DCSS staff spend most of their workday at a desk. Sit-Stand workstations will allow staff to change from a sitting position to a standing position. The Sit-Stand stations will be introduced to employee's workstations as work is being performed in updating space per the department's long-term facility plan.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

Without approval for the Purchase Order, the Department of Child Support Services (DCSS) could not provide Sit-Stand workstations and office landscape partitioning as required per the department's long-term facility space plan.
