CITY OF CARLSBAD - AGENDA BILL m:
AWARD OF AGREEMENT FOR OFFICE
FURNITURE AND RELATED SERVICES
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Staff recommends Council adopt Resolution No. 2002-257 , authorizing the execution of an agreement for
the provision of office furniture and related services.
ITEM EXPLANATION:
The City uses many types of office furnishings in its facilities. Furnishing types include systems furniture, "stand alone" units, filing cabinets, storage units and many other items and systems to suit various needs. In
Agenda Bill No. 10,823 (9/18/90). the City Council approved the standardization of furnishings throughout the City to aid in inventory control, cost containment, aesthetic considerations and flexibility when making changes.
The City of Carlsbad has used the furniture manufactured by the Herman Miller Company as the standard.
Custom-made Herman Miller furniture is available through a limited number of outlets. Design and related
services are functionally available to us only from V.S. Carlson dba Office Pavilion San Diego (Office Pavilion).
Also, since several other San Diego County public agencies expect to access the prices and services available
in the City of Carlsbad agreement, staff decided to declare Office Pavilion San Diego as a sole source and
negotiate with this organization as the lead agency to obtain the best prices and services possible. It should be
noted that, in addition to the Herman Miller systems furniture, there are fifty-three other manufacturers of
various types of furniture that are included in the agreement. All furniture is offered at significant discounts.
Negotiations were successful. Staff was able to increase the breadth of services provided by the contractor
while obtaining discounts that in some cases exceed 75%. By establishing an annual agreement, it will be
possible to more quickly put this contractor to work on an as-needed basis, decrease the administrative duties
required to process multiple bids, and lock-in service commitments and discount pricing.
successful negotiations, the Public Works Supervisor, Facilities Division and the Purchasing Officer
In accordance with Section 3.28.140 of the Municipal Code, a proposal was solicited from Office Pavilion. After
recommend execution of an agreement for provision of office furniture and related services with this contractor.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The execution of this agreement will not obligate the City to purchase any quantity of furniture. Furniture and
related services will be acquired on an as-needed basis and funded by the budget of the associated project or
department.
