AGENDA ITEM DESCRIPTION
The Furniture, Fixtures and Equipment (FF&E) for the new City Hall building is comprised of four separate packages, all with different vendors. This award covers the seating.
The furniture layout and basic design was put together by the architect, Gensler, as part of the overall design of the facility. After the design was completed, Gensler invited three different furniture suppliers/companies to set-up mock-ups of their proposed furniture packages that best fit the interior design of the building for a presentation to City staff, Abacus, and the designers. Several things were considered when evaluating the products with functionality, cost, and aesthetics being important criteria. From those presentations, City staff and the project team felt that the Haworth seating was the best solution for facility.
This award is in accordance with the City of Maricopa, Purchasing Code, Article IV, Section 3-223, Cooperative Purchasing; see the attached Purchasing Summary for details.
The seating package and proposal has been reviewed by City staff, Abacus Project Management, and coordinated with Gensler for completeness and consistency with the building design. For a complete scope of work and cost breakdown see the attached proposal. The not to exceed amount includes a 10% contingency.
This item will be presented by CIP Project Manager Brad Hinton.
