Explanation
Background: The Central Ohio Area Agency on Aging has an immediate need for the purchase of (140) cubicles to be delivered and installed at 3776 South High Street, Columbus, Ohio 43207.
The Central Ohio Area Agency on Aging is relocating from 174 East Long Street, Columbus, Ohio 43215 to 3776 South High Street, Columbus, Ohio 43207. The anticipated moving date is to begin January 2016. One hundred and forty employees will require cubicles as their work area in order to optimize work space and efficiency.
This legislation authorizes the Director of Finance and Management, on behalf of the Department of Recreation and Parks, to establish a purchase order for the purchase of (140) cubicles - including delivery and installation from Corporate Interior Concepts, a dealer of Teknion, State Term Schedule # 800068-6, expiration date 3/31/2016. Due to time constraints, as well as the continuity of the relocation schedule, cost effectiveness and the minority certification of the company, it is deemed in the best interest of the city to purchase from the aforementioned State Term Schedule. Ordinance 582-87 authorizes the City of Columbus to purchase from cooperative purchasing contracts which are not bid, but negotiated contracts. As a dealer of Teknion products, Corporate Interior Concepts can fulfill our requirement for cubicle delivery, installation, and set up that will align with the relocation schedule to maintain continuity of operations at COAAA.
