Description/History
The proposed BuyBoard purchase will provide moving services, configuration and installation of the library shelves and library materials for the library expansion and renovation scheduled for completion fall 2022. The contract includes two phases to setup a temporary operating space within the newly expanded area as well as reconfiguring and installing the library shelves and library materials according to the design plans.
Staff met with multiple vendors and arranged onsite consultations, measurements and needs assessments. After researching a number of alternatives, the BuyBoard National Purchasing Cooperative was determined to be the most cost-effective method for obtaining furniture and equipment.
Library Interiors of Texas, LLC is under contract through the BuyBoard and will provide the library moving services in the amount of $82,921.00. A BuyBoard contract will allow the library to utilize this competitive procurement process and leverage the cooperative's discounts.
Justification
The proposed purchase is necessary to complete the reconfiguration of the library expansion and renovation prior to opening in late 2022.
