end
Suggested Action:
recommendation
I move that the Mayor and Council authorize the City Administrator to enter into an agreement with Douron for the purchase of furniture for the HR, Clerk, and Code Compliance Offices for an encumbered amount not to exceed $68,000. This purchase is facilitated utilizing the Mid-Atlantic Purchasing Team collective purchasing agreement of which the City is a member and will be funded using ARPA funds for the renovation of 4310 Gallatin St as previously authorized. The Treasurer is authorized to make the necessary budget amendments necessary to facilitate this expenditure.

Summary Background:
As part of the improvements to the City Building several office spaces are being remodeled in the current phase of the work. The remodeling is being done in conjunction with the building-wide window replacement project. Some of the office spaces were impacted by the numerous water leaks in the roof, around the windows, and through the control joints. These water leaks have led to mold and mildew formation in various parts of the building, resulting in the need to remove wallpaper and replace carpet and ceiling tiles. As office spaces are being renovated new furniture is being installed to provide appropriate ergonomic support and storage needs for the office spaces. This improved environment is needed to ensure the health and wellbeing of City staff.
