Deputy Director of Building and Inspection Services Mark Rysavy, stated the original budget for Police Department

experience working with and designing for Police and Fire departments. Ms. Tsiolis understands the furniture needs to
be durable enough to withstand a 24/7 operation. Ms. Tsiolis reviewed the furniture selection process with attention
on selecting proper, comfortable and durable seating to accommodate officers' gear. Staff had the opportunity to try-
out seating options and provide input. All furniture will be purchased through Omnia government purchasing
program, so no formal bidding process is required. Ms. Tsiolis provided a break-down of costs which includes a 5%
contingency; the project is $68,000 under-budget.
