Finance Committee Minutes July 8, 2019 <br />offsetting revenue is also budgeted for the same amount. Staff is looking further to ensure that <br />all reimbursable overtime is billed out. Councilmember Robertson asked if the cost of <br />suppression has increased over time on pace with the cost of living. He requested information <br />showing the cost of suppression per year, including labor but not equipment, facilities or special <br />events. DISCUSSION ONLY. <br />C. Intergovernmental Purchasing Agreement with the University of Washington <br />Staff is seeking Council approval of an Intergovernmental Cooperative Purchasing Agreement <br />with the University of Washington, which would allow the City to purchase Steelcase Products <br />from OpenSquare at the governmental rate provided to the UW for use in the Justice Center. This <br />is allowed by state law and would avoid the delays associated with a bid process. <br />Councilmember Kruller asked if this method would save the City money. Staff stated that this <br />option gives users the functionality that is needed and that this is within the revised budget for <br />FF&E, although a direct comparison hasn't been analyzed. Steelcase was the top choice for the <br />user groups. Councilmember Robertson asked for the rough dollar value of the purchase. Staff <br />will include the interior design budget and feedback from the project designers for Council <br />consideration at the next meeting.
