Agenda Item 18

CC 18. Updated Purchase Order – Parron Hall Furniture City Hall Renovation and Modernization:\nRequest for 10% Contingency Increase\nApprove an updated Furniture Purchase Order with Parron Hall for the City Hall Renovation\nand Modernization to include an increased contingency of 10%, bringing the total\ncontingency amount to $220,996.52. Authorize the City Manager, or his designee, to sign all\ndocuments. Pricing remains based on Allsteel’s OMNIA Partners contract #R191802.\nThe request for a 10% contingency is consistent with industry best practices for projects of\nthis scale and complexity. It will provide an additional safeguard, allowing the project to\nproceed smoothly without unexpected delays due to funding shortages. The City remains\ncommitted to prudent fiscal management while ensuring the success of this critical project.\nThe increase in the contingency amount is a proactive measure to secure the investment made\nin the City’s infrastructure, thereby enhancing service delivery, safety, and accessibility. The\noriginal contract with Parron Hall, which was competitively solicited through OMNIA\nPartners, remains in effect. OMNIA Partners ensures compliance and delivers maximum\nvalue, thereby streamlining the purchasing process for local governments like ours.
