The project includes allowances for required Furniture Fixtures and Equipment, (FF&E).
The furniture recommendations have been developed through the cooperation of city staff, PGAL (architect) and a variety of vendors in consideration of staff needs, design esthetics, durability, maintainability, and pricing. Given current lead times in the industry, staff is coordinating purchases to ensure delivery aligns with the completion of the construction.
Core Office Interiors was selected to provide office furniture and shelving. The building will be outfitted for full capacity at a purchase cost of $1,508,888. The City will utilize the BuyBoard cooperative agreement to procure the best pricing.
