Greer seeks approval of $684,913 furniture package for Sports & Events Center
Summary
Staff recommended the purchase of furniture and fixtures for the Sports & Events Center through state term and cooperative contracts at a total price of $684,913, funded from the Corporation for Greer Fund; council questioned high‑ticket line items, durability and whether signage/artwork was included (staff said signage is part of a separate package).
Staff and Adam Forager presented a room‑by‑room furniture proposal for the Sports & Events Center at 1529 South Highway 14 and asked council to approve a $684,913 package procured through state term contracts and cooperative purchasing.
Forager summarized high‑volume line items (gym chairs/tables, office furniture, community room banquet seating, café seating and movable bleachers) and said the team had tested samples for durability. Council asked whether signage and historical photographs would be funded through this line item; staff replied that those items are in a separate signage package. Members questioned specific prices for picnic benches and banquet chairs; staff said the package uses commercial‑grade items from state contracts and that an earlier proposal had been nearly $1,000,000 before reductions. The council moved and ultimately voted to receive and consider the award recommendation.
