Continuation Item No: 7D Meeting Date: 10-25-10 (The State did the “leg work” to get the lowest cost for goods and services that are offered through the CPV Program for member agencies.) MinnCor Industries offers new furniture for purchase and re-upholstery services. Staff met with a representative, Jessica Berg, from MinnCor in assessing the needs of the furniture. Ms Berg determined that overall the furniture is basically well built and with the exception of some necessary foam replacement’s it can be re-upholstered. The fabric recommended is a performance style named “crypton” and the color is “smoke” and will match existing carpets and also the metals on the furniture. Staff received a quote for re-upholstering the existing 37 pieces of furniture and a quote for new furniture. (MinnCor will also sand down and refinish certain areas on the arms of the chairs where patrons have defaced them.) MinnCor has also offered to loan the City extra furniture that they have in storage during the re-upholstering. It is estimated that the furniture will be picked up and delivered in 3 different phases. As the furniture is taken out to be re-upholstered, the loaned furniture can be moved to “fill in” the vacant areas. • Re-upholstery $16,222.93 (total cost that also includes pickup and delivery) • New $27,927.51 (total cost that also includes pickup and delivery) MinnCor also provided a quote for (16) new wooden chairs and (2) accent tables at the total cost of $2,154.61.
