Summary of Specifications:
It is the intent of these specifications to describe requirements for the modification of interior office work space through the purchase and installation of various workstations for Social Services employees at the Warren County Municipal Center Annex on Gurney Lane in Queensbury, NY, off exit 20 of I87. This department wishes to upgrade staff workspace with “L” shaped workstations that include hutches and articulating keyboard trays for computers. Workstation replacements must fit into designated work areas. The estimated need is for a total of 19 workstations and these configurations are important due to limited workspace. Layout for these offices shall be designed in conjunction with County staff. Previous workstation purchases have been of Buro Design – Cubik Collection workstations and bids submitted shall be either equal or of comparable quality and design to compliment and integrate with the nearby offices. The department is looking for a light maple wood product to coordinate with existing furniture. The term for this bid pricing shall be from Date of Award to December 31, 2006. This bid pricing shall be extended to ALL Warren County Departments who may wish to purchase workstations for the term of this bid. Bidders shall list the components offered for these workstations. Pricing submitted shall be PER ITEM for EACH of the components listed. Award shall be based on the item list total. Social Services anticipates purchasing 19 workstations to be installed in early 2006.Since this bid shall be extended to all other Warren County Departments, Bidders may also list other colors and/or wood grains for workstations bid (if available) at the same per Item pricing as light maple wood product and include brochures for optional colors/wood grains with proposal. Since offices will be disrupted for this project, it will be necessary to require a Saturday set-up and installation for these items. Delivery may be on Friday to a Warren County site, if necessary, but set-up and installation shall be on Saturday. Vendors wishing to visit and appraise this site or needing more information regarding the specifics of this bid are encouraged to contact Bob Phelps, Social Services Commissioner at (518) 761-6310. A site visit is strongly encouraged, but not mandatory. Workstations bid must fit in existing offices where space may be very limited. Bidders shall not plead any misunderstanding, and Warren County will make no allowance or concession to the Contractor for any alleged misunderstanding or deception because of quantity, quality, character, location, or other conditions regarding this project.
