City Council Study Session — 03/15/04 Draft Minutes - Page 14 11. Approve Purchase of Police Department Work Stations Public Works Director and Construction Project Manager Duane Schwartz noted that it was anticipated that the Police Department would be moving into their new area in May of this year, necessitating the purchase of some furniture to facilitate that move. Mr. Schwartz advised that the overall construction project budget had reserved approximately $300,000 for furniture and fixtures; and that it was anticipated that an estimated 90-95% of existing furniture would be reused. Mr. Schwartz noted that most of the existing and proposed workstations consisted of refurbished Hermann Miller brand workstation units with related filing storage available from Alternative Business Systems under an existing cooperative state contract. Mr. Schwartz noted that this would represent the first batch of furnishings from the allotted $300,000 budgeted amount. Maschka moved, Schroeder seconded, approval of the purchase of refurbished workstations, including installation from Alternative Business Systems in an amount not to exceed $99,533.00. Councilmember Maschka noted that this item did not need to go out for public bid, as it was a state contract. Roll Call Ayes: Ihlan, Maschka, Schroeder and Klausing. Nays: None. 12.
