Village approves furniture purchase for Fire Station 21 under cooperative pricing, authorizes contingency
Summary
Trustees approved a purchase of furniture for new Fire Station 21 from Educational Environments under OMNIA cooperative pricing, not to exceed $37,432.82, and granted the village manager authority to approve up to $5,000 in additional fees if needed.
The Public Health & Safety Committee approved authorization Aug. 4 to purchase furniture for the new Fire Station 21 from Educational Environments (Elk Grove Village) under OMNIA cooperative pricing for an amount not to exceed $37,432.82 and authorized the village manager to approve up to $5,000 in additional fees if unanticipated costs arise. Chiefs and staff told the committee the station construction is progressing and that builders will soon be ready for furniture and appliances. Committee members asked whether additional fees could cover contract terms such as tariffs; staff said the contingency authority is intended for unanticipated items in the terms of sale, not for new purchases. The committee approved the purchase and the contingency authorization by voice vote; staff said the items were included in the approved budget for the station.
