City Council Report 
 
Date: 
August 17, 2026 
To: 
City Council 
Through: 
Michael Kennington, Deputy City Manager/Chief Financial Officer 
From: 
Edward Quedens, Business Services Director 
 
Kristy Garcia, Procurement Administrator 
Subject: 
Dollar Limit Increase to the Term Contract for Office Furniture, Office Supplies 
and Related Products for Citywide Departments (Citywide) 
 
Recommendation 
 
Council is requested to approve the contract amendment as recommended. 
 
The Engineering and Business Services Departments and Procurement Services 
recommend increasing the dollar limit with Wist Business Supplies & Equipment by 
$6,000,000 for Contract Year 2 from $2,000,000 to an amount not to exceed $8,000,000. 
The dollar limit will return to $2,000,000 for future years. 
 
Background / Discussion  
 
This contract is for miscellaneous office furniture, office supplies and related products and 
was awarded in 2025. 
 
The contract has entered Year 2 (8/1/2026 to 7/31/2027). The dollar limit increase is 
required to accommodate the furniture needs of facility rehabilitation projects underway 
during this contract period. These projects include: Police IT at 245 W. 2nd Street, the City 
Clerk’s office, 145 North Centennial for Engineering and Development Services, Fire Station 
205, Fire Station 224, the CK Luster building 1st floor, and Police Headquarters. 
 
This is not a budget increase. Funds for these projects are within the department’s budget 
capacities and/or in the project’s budget. This action simply increases the contract spend 
capacity.  This contract has in the past provided slightly better pricing than cooperative 
contracts available to us.  Services include design, materials, and installation.  Due to the 
volume of purchases, we’ve been able to negotiate a greater discount for these furniture 
products with the vendor.
