SUMMARY/DISCUSSION:
Monterey County Health Department (MCHD) has been using Steelcase furniture products in our offices and clinic locations for many years. MCHD has found a benefit to having consistent standards for office and clinic furniture to better manage our inventory. Modular office products can be rearranged and reconfigured with minimal cost. The Steelcase product line is durable, and Steelcase Inc. provides an extensive warranty on its product line. Steelcase, Inc. is an approved vendor with the National Joint Powers Alliance (NJPA). PBI is the only local authorized furniture dealer for Steelcase products, located in Monterey County.
Approval of the recommended action will allow PBI to provide the necessary office furniture and products such as free-standing and/or open office panel systems, seating, storage cabinets, counters, shelving, chairs, and workstation products, as well as product delivery, installation, and removal of existing furniture to meet the needs of Health Department clinics, MCHD building lobbies, and staff work areas to create social distance space and safe customer friendly barriers in our lobbies. The budget increase will also cover future expansion projects. PBI will pay prevailing wages pursuant to Labor Code 1720 and comply with all of its requirements.
This work supports the Monterey County Health Department 2018-2022 Strategic Plan Goals: 4. Engage MCHD workforce and improve operational functions to meet current and developing population health needs. It also supports one or more of the ten essential public health services, specifically: 8. Assure a competent public and personal health care workforce.
