WATER SERVICES

SUMMARY
The relocation of the Public Works Water Services Division to a modular structure at the Field
Services Yard necessitates the acquisition of compatible ergonomic furniture. Staff is
recommending that the City Council approve Resolution 01-13 authorizing the General Services
Department of the State of California to purchase office' furniture for the Public Works Water
Services Division on behalf of the City.
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Council approve Resolution 01-13 authorizing the City to
purchase office furniture for the Public Works Department through the State of California General
Services Department furniture contract for Steelcase furniture.
FISCAL IMPACT
Acquisition of furniture has been previously appropriated and is available in the Capital
Improvement Budget, Project #6143, Maintenance Yard Remodel.
BACKGROUND
The construction of the City's new Main Street Reservoir has necessitated the relocation of the
Water Services offices from 235 Main Street to the Field Services Maintenance Yard at 1472
Service Road by approximately April 1st. A modular structure is being acquired via a "piggyback"
provision on a Tustin Unified School District contract With GE Capital. The existing water services
furniture will not Physically fit in the new modular structure and is in' relatively poor condition.
Staff proposes to acquire new ergonomic furniture for the new office.
Staff has investigated the acquisition of this furniture that the furniture could not reasonably be
acquired at a price less than the State contract rate.
City Code section 1624c states the following'
"When In the opinion of the purchasing agent supplies, materials or equipment
can be. more efficiently or more cheaply obtained if acquired on behalf of the City
by the State of California Department of General Services...the purchasing agent
shall .so advise the City Council. Acquisition of any such supplies, materials or
equipment by the State of California Department of General Services...may be
authorized by resolution of the City Council."
Staff now requests the City Council to authorize this acquisition through .the State contract for
Steelcase furniture by approving Resolution 01-13.
