SUBJECT: COUNCIL CHAIRS
I have checked with Bassett Business Interiors (retailers for Steelcase products)
about the cost of new chairs for the City Council members. They have quoted me the
following figures:
Five chairs / $339.75 each, plus 6% sales tax = $1,800.68
The chairs are the same as those now being used by the Department Heads, with the
exception of a different fabric covering. The chairs that we are considering
ordering are covered by a dark brown fabric (or a tweed can be substituted for an
extra $4.00 per chair). The prices quoted for th~ chairs also include carpet
casters.
When a decision is made to order the chairs, the following information will be
necessary:
Style Number: 451-221T
Fabric Number: 5266
Shell Color: 6201
Chrome: 9201
Carpet Casters
It will take approximately 9 to 10 weeks for delivery upon receiut of the order.
Jeri Ann Bu~as is the Bassett Representative with whom I spoke and s~ can be
contacted if any further information is needed.
I looked at chairs at Desks, Inc. and the only chair which might fit our needs cost
over $1,000. This seemed prohibitive, so it was not pursued.
I also visited Economy Furniture to look at their selection. They had a similar
chair to what Steelcase produces, but the quality was not as good (for example, the
arms were not upholstered) and delivery was estimated at 14-16 ~eks.
