FC/CC # <br />CONSIDER DESIGN SERVICES FOR CITY STAFF RELOCATIONS FOR LEASE OF <br />OFFICE SPACE IN THE MUNICIPAL CENTER <br />By: Heidi A. Nelson, Deputy City Administrator/Director of Community Development <br />Background: <br />As was stated in the previous case, Anoka County is ready to sign the Letter of Intent to lease <br />space in the Ramsey Municipal Center following response to a couple of items. As was also <br />stated in the previous case, to accommodate the lease of the office space, it will be necessary to <br />relocate staff from the west end of the first floor to the east end of the first and second floor of <br />the Municipal Center. Staff has solicited a proposal from Intereum for furniture design services <br />for the relocation of staff and furniture to second floor. New furniture for the Municipal Center <br />was designed by, purchased from, and installed by Intereum in 2006. Intereum is the State -bid <br />Metro Area dealer for Herman Miller systems furniture, which is the current furniture system <br />utilized in the Municipal Center. The cost of the proposal for design services to relocate staff is <br />$3,055. The proposal is attached for Council review. Once a design for the new office space is <br />completed, staff would solicit a proposal for relocation of systems furniture. It is anticipated that <br />very little additional furniture will need to be acquired; rather existing furniture will need to be <br />relocated and possibly reconfigured. <br />Funding Source: <br />Funding for the contract with Intereum for furniture design services would be funded from the <br />Municipal Center Construction Fund, which has a balance of $30,854. <br />Staff Recommendation: <br />Staff is recommending a contract with Intereum for systems furniture design services to relocate <br />City staff from the west end, first floor of City Hall. <br />Committee Action: <br />Motion to recommend the City Council authorize a Contract with Intereum for systems furniture <br />design services. <br />Council Action: <br />Authorize staff to enter into a Contract with Intereum for systems furniture design services. <br />Reviewed by: <br />Deputy City Administrator/Director of Community Development <br />Finance Officer <br />City Administrator: <br />FC/CC: 10/27/09 <br />
