MIKE ROBINSON, Mayor
City of Round Rock, Texas
On 12 -3 -85, Bids were opened for furniture for the new police station.
2 Bids were received.
Barker Furniture Turner Furniture
$15,819.31 $15,265.00
The Bids were checked item for item. Turner Furniture did not submit
a bid on 2 items. Barker's Bid for the 2 items not bid by Turner was
$259.00. Had this been bid, it would bring Turner's bid up to $15,524.00.
The Bid specs also specified 2 each, Girsberger Armless, fully adjustable
chairs, heavy duty, 24 hour use. Barker bid these chairs for $657.60 for
the two. Turner bid 2 regular Steno chairs for $178.00 for the two, for a
difference of $479.60.
It is very important to have the heavy duty fully adjustable chairs for
the Dispatch. Office. These chairs are in use 24 hrs. a day. Our Dis-
patchers vary in size and weight and it requires the chairs to be adjust-
able each time a shift change is made. The Girsberger chairs.are the only
ones we have found that will holdup under continued use.
Had Turner's furniture bid the 2 items that were not bid and had bid the
Girsberger chairs, their bid would have been $16,003.60. This would make
Barker's Furniture low bidder.
Barker's Furniture has a very large showroom and we were able to inspect
all the items that were bid. Barker's Furniture is a large institutional
furniture dealer, and the - majority of items bid are in stock.
Turner's Furniture is a local company and we appreciate the bid. We were
not able to inspect any of the items bid by Turner's Furniture so we could
not determine the quality of furniture bid.
The Staff recommends that the Bid by Barker's Furniture for $15,819.31 be
accepted.
