BACKGROUND:
Background
We are working to reconfigure the office floor plan in an effort to place employees performing related duties in locations that promote efficiency, and to maximize the space at City Hall and Deltona Water. Currently, classrooms 148, 149 and 150 are vacant and underutilized. The classrooms will be redesigned as office space and the Information Technology staff will reside in the two classrooms and Economic Development staff will occupy the third. The Finance Department staff currently located at Deltona Water will be moved to the vacated offices in City Hall in the Finance Department. Lastly, the space made available in Deltona Water will be available for Volusia Sheriff’s Office deputies for a satellite office since the current office on Providence Boulevard lacks adequate space.
The quotes from American Interiors are provided through State of Florida purchasing agreement 56120000-19-ACS. This furniture meets the requirements of the US Green Building Council.
OPTIONS:
1. Approve the purchase of office furniture and associated equipment for the Information Technology and Economic Development Divisions at a total cost of $73,921.58, plus additional costs associated with redesigning office space and approve the budget amendment to allocate funds from Capital Fund Balance to City Hall Improvements account.
