Council approves furniture contract after attorney agrees to reference cooperative procurement
Summary
Councilmember Wapner questioned a vendor contract that used a national cooperative procurement; the city attorney agreed to add non-substantive contract language referencing the coop and item 9 passed 5-0.
Councilmember Wapner asked the city to clarify why the contract before the council did not explicitly reference the national cooperative (Indiana Furniture) that underlies the procurement. He said the vendor contract lacked language requiring use of the cooperative furniture or prices tied to that coop.
The city attorney said the cooperative decision is prefatory to the agreement and that staff could add non-substantive language to reference the coop; the council approved item 9 by a five-zero vote. Wapner said he supported the contract but wanted the reference added to the agreement to ensure the intended procurement channel and prices were clear.
