FROM: BRUNO RUMBELOW, CITY MANAGER
MEETING DATE: MARCH 4, 2025
SUBJECT: PURCHASE OF FURNITURE FOR INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY
DEPARTMENT
RECOMMENDATION: City Council to consider approval for the purchase of furniture from Wilson
Bauhaus Interiors for the Information Technology Department.
FUNDING SOURCE: Funds are available in the General Fund (Information Technology) for an
estimated amount of $24,719.
BACKGROUND: This purchase is for three new cubicles to be added to Room 3105 and a
desk for room 3107 in the IT office area on the 3rd floor of the Public
Safety Building. Currently two of the IT Customer Services staff utilize
undersized cubicles, and another utilizes a shallow reception counter.
Both work areas lack necessary storage and table space. IT Staff
consistently work on multiple computers and laptops simultaneously and
need space to troubleshoot and house this type of equipment. The new
cubicles and desks provide more workspace and increased privacy
necessary to work on confidential or sensitive items.
This purchase will be made in accordance with existing and interlocal
agreements with Omnia Partners Public Sector, Region VIII Education
Service Center in Texas as allowed by Texas Local Government Code,
Section 271 and Texas Government Code, Section 791.
Bids were taken by the Cooperative and a contract was awarded Wilson
Bauhaus Interiors. The IT Department and Purchasing staff reviewed the
contract for departmental specification compliance and pricing and
determined that the contract would provide the best service and pricing for
meeting the needs of the City.
