BACKGROUND
Background
As part of the project to renovate the building that will house the new Women With Children Recovery Facility, new furniture will be required. Staff recommends purchasing the furniture from the negotiated state contract. This purchase requires the Board to approve a bid waiver per County Purchasing Department guidelines.
The furniture is being purchased from three vendors through NC state contract 5610-A. Below is a summary of the purchases:
Alfred Williams $205,940.89 Common Area Furnishings
Institutional Interiors $270,612.85 Bedroom Furnishings
Reidsville Office City $148,213.09 Office and Admin Furnishings
Three (3) vendors were selected to diversify risk and provide manageable project scopes for each vendor. The mix of furniture procurement was selected based on volume pricing discounts above the contract rate, availability and product selections compared to the needs of the facility and the design criteria.
