SUMMARY: The
FY 2007-08 budget includes $9,000 for a modular workstation,
computer and other related equipment for a new Conservation Representative I
position. Water Demand Division staff
has obtained two quotes for a modular workstation which includes panels, worktables,
a file drawer, a locking hutch, all required connectors and brackets and
installation. The quotes from Palace
Office Interiors and Peninsula Business Interiors were in the amounts of $4,372.41
and $6,479.78, respectively. Over the
past couple of years, the District has purchased various modular components
from Palace Office Interiors and has found them to be of good quality.
RECOMMENDATION: District staff recommends the purchase of modular workstation components from Palace Office Interiors in the amount of $4,372.41 per quote dated August 14, 2007. The Administrative Committee considered this item at its September 11, 2007 meeting and voted __ to __ to recommend _______________.
BACKGROUND: The Fiscal Year 2007-08 budget includes a new Conservation Representative I position to work on conservation related activities. Funding for the position is to be provided by California American Water out of the 3% conservation surcharge that was authorized in their most recent rate case by the California Public Utilities Commission. The 2007-08 budget also includes $9,000 for a modular workstation and other related equipment for this new position.
