RECOMMENDATION

Recommendation

Staff recommends City Council adopt a resolution approving the purchase of furniture, fixtures and equipment and authorize the City Manager to execute first amendment to the purchase contract with vendor One Workplace of Santa Clara, CA for the Civic Campus Phase 2: Library, Parks & Recreation and Community Theater/Council Chamber (pf 2207), in the amount not to exceed $2,103,470.88.

 

Body

BACKGROUND

The Civic Campus Phase 2: Library, Parks & Recreation and Community Theater/Council Chamber requires Furniture, Fixtures and Equipment (“FF&E”) necessary for the operations.  Since May 2022, staff has coordinated with One Workplace (OWP) to assist with selection of furniture for all the staff, public places, library areas, event rooms, City Council Chamber, conference rooms, and private offices.  Staff from Library and Parks and Recreation Departments collaborated with OWP to select durable and attractive high-quality FF&E suitable for use in our new state of the art facility.

 

The first phase of FF&E procurement, in the amount of $1,689,637, was approved by City Council in December 2022. This second phase was anticipated at that time. Because different vendors have different lead times for delivery, staff prioritized item with long lead times in the first phase to receive all items on schedule. This report and associated resolution represent the second and final phase of FF&E procurement for the project.

 

Staff plans to purchase the furniture by utilizing several cooperative purchase programs. Identical to the procurement strategy utilized for the new Police Operations and 9-1-1 Dispatch Center, these programs allow the City to “piggyback” on other public agencies’ bid processes and take advantage of already contracted low prices. Use of cooperative purchasing programs is a way of obtaining goods and services by aggregating volume, securing value pricing, and reducing administrative overhead. Use of purchasing cooperatives significantly reduces the time and resources needed to competitively bid goods and services contracts, resulting in better overall value. When compared to standard retail prices, the project team estimates that the City will save in excess of 10% overall on FF&E by using this procurement strategy.

 

The City may enter a piggyback contract, under SSF Municipal Code section 4.04.040(b), if the contract terms are valid and have been negotiated by another governmental agency using a quote or bid process that substantially conforms to the procedures established by state law and the City purchasing ordinance. Further, the City’s purchasing policy requires the bid process on the piggybacked contract to have been completed within the last year.
