Body
REQUESTOR:
Parks and Recreation Department
BACKGROUND:
The Branch Connection is currently undergoing renovations. This purchase entails acquiring 200 armless chairs, 50 chairs with arms, 50 chair dollies, and delivery and installation of the new ballroom chairs to align with the refreshed aesthetics of the updated ballroom. These chairs will replace the existing nine-year-old chairs, complementing the facility's aesthetics post-renovation.

The chairs are being procured at a competitive market price from Uline, Inc. Staff identified a vendor, Seroz Construction, who will assemble the chairs, saving staff time. The chairs will be assembled and stored until the construction is completed at The Branch Connection.
We have contacted the following vendors: GL Seaman, Uline, Wilson, Monarch Office Furniture, and Business Essentials. GL Seaman, Uline, and Plano Office Supply have provided quotes.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The financial impact on The Branch Connection Division’s budget account is $22,697.25. This is under the original $80,000 budgeted in the current FY24 budget.

1. I move to approve Resolution No. 2024-149 as presented.
2. I move to approve Resolution No. 2024-149, with modifications.
