COUNCIL AGENDA ITEM

\} SUBJECT AWARD OF PURCHASE WITH VIRCO. OFFICE FURNITURE INTERIORS, INC, MATTER/PROJECT: AND NATIONAL BUSINESS FURNITURE

ORIGINATING DEPARTMENT: Purchasing PRESENTER: Mary Quinones

COUNCIL DATE: July 23, 2007 AGEl

AGENDA CAPTION: APPROVAL OF A PURCHASE FROM VIRCO, OFFICE FURNITURE INTERIORS, INC. AND NATIONAL BUSINESS FURNITURE FOR THE CONVENTION/CIVIC CENTER FURNITURE.

RATIONALE: The City released an invitation for bid for tables, chairs, dollies and stage equipment for the expanded Convention/Civic Center on June 5, 2007. The specifications in the bid were provided by the architect for the project and reflect the consensus of the project's building committee in terms of the look and required durability of the furniture and equipment. The committee identified tables and chairs from Kruger International as having quality, fabric, construction and look that met their requirements. The bid required vendors to bid that or an "or equal" and for vendors to provide actual samples to show they met the "or equal" requirement. The bid was sent to approximately 50 vendors; 9 vendors responded. Because the City had very specific "or equal" requirements for the furniture, the bids received were carefully scrutinized to ensure the furniture met or exceeded those requirements. Not all vendors' furniture did. Staff has proposed awarding the bid to the companies with the lowest price that met or exceeded the bid specifications.

Staff proposes to award Vireo line items 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 (see attached bid tab) for the folding tables and the storage devices for a total cost of $82,776.17. The Vireo tables are an "or equal". They contain the same salient characteristics as the Kruger International tables. Both contain the corrugated center, have metal to metal attachments for the legs, and have the edge molding bumper and an ASS plastic top. Workspace Solutions, another bidder, had a lower price for tables and storage devices; however, their tables did not meet the "or equal" requirement.

Staff proposes to award Office Furniture Interiors, Inc. line items 6, 7 and 8 for the stacking chairs and chair dollies. Their chairs were an "or equal." Lower price bids did not meet the requirements and specifications for the chairs. Office Furniture Interiors, Inc. quote is $90 each for a chair in chrome. The requirement is for a black frame chair; Office Furniture will provide this chair at $85 each. The total price for the chairs and the dollies for storage will be $183,509 from Office Furniture Interiors, Inc.

National Business Furniture is proposed to be awarded line items 9, 10 and 11 for the portable carpet stage, steps and skirting. By evaluating the brochures and the specifications submitted, National Business Furniture products are considered an "or equal" and accepted. The total price for the carpeted stage, steps and skirting is $7,322.92.

The total cost for the tables, chairs and stage equipment for the Convention/Civic Center is $273,608.09. All three companies have a delivery date of 10 weeks or less. This schedule will facilitate the delivery of the items prior to the current projected opening date of the facility.

FISCAL IMPACT: The budget for the Convention/Civic Center includes $212,000 for furniture. The cost of this bid award ($273,608) exceeds the budget by $61 ,608. Sufficient funds are available in the Convention/Civic Center Capital Improvement Fund adopted budget to fully fund this purchase. Interest income generated in the fund can provide the additional amount needed.

STAFF RECOMMENDATION: APPROVE A PURCHASE FROM VIRCO, OFFICE FURNITURE INTERIORS, INC. AND NATIONAL BUSINESS FURNITURE FOR THE CONVENTION/CIVIC CENTER FURNITURE.
