Adopt resolution authorizing the sole source purchase of 400 new chairs from Mity-
Lite, Inc. of Orem, Utah, for use in Kirst Hall at Hutchins Street Square ($20,000.00)
Wednesday, February 6, 2002
Charlene J. Lange, Community Center Director
RECOMMENDED ACTION: Adopt resolution authorizing the sole source purchase of 400 new
chairs from Mity-Lite, Inc. of Orem, Utah, for use in Kirst Hall at
Hutchins Street Square ($20,000.00). Funds approved in 2001-2003
Financial Plan and Budget.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION: This action will allow for replacement of existing equipment that has
been used on a near daily basis for events, conferences, and classes
for the past twelve years. The inventory of chairs in Kirst Hall has
steadily decreased due to wear and tear. This has impacted staff's
ability to accommodate large groups. Increased usage of Kirst Hall is forecasted, which will result in
requisite wear and damage to this equipment.
A sole source purchase is warranted as style and construction of existing equipment needs to be matched
as close as possible.
The alternative of replacing as needed does not allow for consistent pattern and style matching.
Additionally, there is the possibility of old equipment suddenly failing while in use.
