RECOMMENDATION(S):

Approve and authorize the Purchasing Agent on behalf of the Assessor’s Office to execute a Purchase Order with SamClar in an amount not to exceed $790,790 for seating, work stations, and filing systems for the period August 9, 2016 through July 31, 2017.

FISCAL IMPACT:

100% General Fund

BACKGROUND:

In 2001, the Assessor’s Office moved to 2530 Arnold Drive, Suite 400 in Martinez. Due to budgetary constraints, the Department purchased used/re-furbished office landscape partitions (OLP). Metal desks, vertical file cabinets, book shelves, and chairs from surplus have been used to complete/supplement work stations. The Department is planning to replace the OLP and chairs so that staff will have complete work stations that are ergonomic and adjustable. Also, to better utilize space, the Department is planning to replace vertical files and book shelves with a more efficient design.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

Without approval of the Purchase Order, the Assessor’s Office could not provide ergonomic furniture throughout the Suite and more efficient filing systems.
