RESOLUTION #07-048

WHEREAS, the County Clerk desires to re-design the Mason office to accommodate the space needs of customers and staff; and

WHEREAS, the Purchasing Department contacted DBI Business Interiors (DBI) to develop a floor plan for the modular furniture that would provide a more open work space for staff and customers, yet retain as much historical integrity as possible; and

WHEREAS, DBI proposed a floor plan that would remove the existing counter and replace all of the existing modular furniture as well as meet the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) requirements; and

WHEREAS, the entire cost of the project, including communication wiring, carpet replacement where necessary, demolition and removal of existing furniture and installation of seven (7) new modular workstations and task chairs is estimated not to exceed $20,677; and

WHEREAS, all work will be completed after hours to least disrupt the office’s ability to serve the public; and

WHEREAS, the Clerk has identified funds within his budget to pay for the project which includes revenues from the fee increase for marriages performed by the Clerk.

THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED, that the Ingham County Board of Commissioners authorizes the purchase of seven new modular workstations and task chairs as outlined in the DBI proposal, including the necessary communication wiring and carpet replacement, at a cost not to exceed $20,677.

BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that the Controller is authorized to make any necessary budget adjustments.

BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that the Chairperson of the Ingham County Board of Commissioners and the County Clerk are authorized to sign any contract documents consistent with this resolution and approved as to form by the County Attorney.
