Martinez, Library Services Director RECOMMENDED ACTION: That the City Council authorize City staff to participate in the contract agreement arranged by Alameda County with KI Furniture for the purchase of computer stations for the Library's public computer lab. BACKGROUND INFORMATION: The Library has selected the furniture manufacturer KI (Kruger International) to create the stations for its public computer lab. At the recommendation of the interior designer, Melanie Vieux of Wenell Mattheis Bowe, Library staff chose the KI PowerComm product line for its durability and style to furnish the lab with flexible stations that accommodate a variety of computing needs and activities. The lab will house seven stations for the public, a station including a shared printing/scanning station for the lab monitor and three stations equipped with Internet access for users bringing their own laptop computer to the lab. All stations will be wired for access to power and data, feature privacy screens, modesty panels and tabletop access to electrical power. At their August 21, 2000 meeting, the Library Board of Trustees authorized Library staff to participate in the contract agreement arranged by Alameda County with KI Furniture for the purchase of computer stations for the Library's public computer lab. Following the solicitation of competitive bids, Alameda County signed Contract "049113" with Kruger International to supply the County and its various agencies with a range of KI products over a three-year period. The County of Alameda agreed "to extend its KI Contract #0491 B for use by any California public agency that may be interested." Similar to the CMAS program that the City currently uses for purchasing personal computers, Contract #0491B provides established discounts off of list prices for both drop shipments and installed merchandise. Using the KI/Alameda contract will allow the Library staff the flexibility to select product options and services according to the computer lab's current needs and add future stations as the demand warrants.
