For the most part, the office furniture in the south end of the building is original and has not been replaced. After 25 years, the furniture is beyond its shelf life and in need of replacement. To that end, the furniture has been budgeted in the current budget cycle. RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends the City Council take the following actions: 1) Approve the Department’s request to purchase replacement office furniture in the amount of $84,915.00, from D&R Office Works, Incorporated; and 2)Approve the waiving of bidding requirements per Azusa Municipal Code Section 2-521 Cooperative, piggyback and multiple awarded bid purchasing with other agencies. ANALYSIS: Maintaining a professional and safe working environment is critical to the success of any organization. The current fiscal year budget allocated $84,915.00 to replace the furniture in question. If this request is approved, the furniture will enhance the professional appearance of the facility and improve employee morale and safety. It is also recommended to waive the bidding process per Azusa Municipal Code Section 2-521 since the quote will be “piggybacked” on Omnia Partners – Public Sector Lead Agency Region 4 of TXKimball International Contract #R191811.
