RECOMMENDATIONS:
APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Purchasing Agent to execute, on behalf of the County Librarian, a purchase order with One Workplace, subject to the terms of their Terms and Conditions of Sales Agreement, in an amount not to exceed $69,500 for meeting room pods for the reconfiguration of the Library Administration office at 777 Arnold St., Ste. 210, Martinez.

The Terms and Conditions of Sales Agreement includes limited liability and mutual indemnification provisions which was approved by County Counsel.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
If the Purchase Order is not approved, the Contra Costa County Library staff will not have private space to take phone calls or attend Zoom meetings, when needed.
