Three (3) <br />proposals were submitted by the RFP deadline and were determined to be responsive <br />to the specifications and met the City’s requirements. An evaluation committee <br />comprised of Housing Authority staff reviewed and rated the proposals according to the <br />criteria listed in the RFP. The following table summarizes the top responding firms: <br />Firm City Cost Ranking <br />BKM Office Environments, Inc.Canoga Park $247,824 1 <br />Pro Movers Inc.Orange $46,352 2 <br />Office & Ergonomic Solutions, Inc.Rancho Cucamonga $209,552 3 <br />Staff recommends awarding an agreement to the highest-ranked firm, BKM Office <br />Environments, Inc. (Exhibit 1). BKM Office Environments, Inc. (BKM) is a full-service <br />commercial furniture provider with access to more than 200 manufacturers, allowing the <br />firm to deliver flexible, high-quality workspace solutions tailored to government facilities. <br />The firm has successfully completed similar projects for public agencies including the City <br />of Santa Paula Housing Authority, the City of Santa Clarita Valencia Community Center, <br />and the City of Thousand Oaks Planning Department. Based on BKM’s demonstrated <br />experience with housing authority and municipal clients, comprehensive project <br />management capabilities, and competitive pricing, staff recommends awarding the <br />agreement to BKM. <br />BKM has the highest cost out of the three proposals. However, the total cost reflects their <br />experience working with over 200 manufacturers and other cities and Housing Authorities. <br />Additionally, BKM’s proposal provides a comprehensive, single-vendor solution that <br />includes design, project management, procurement, delivery, and installation services, <br />reducing the need for multiple vendors and minimizing the risk of project delays and <br />coordination challenges. Further, the proposed furniture systems are modular and <br />component-based (interchangeable parts), with extended manufacturer warranties, <br />supporting long-term durability, quality performance, and flexibility to accommodate <br />evolving workspace needs, thereby maximizing the City’s investment over time. <br />FISCAL IMPACT <br />Funds are budgeted and made available in the following accounts for the specified year: <br /> <br />Fiscal <br />Year <br />Accounting Unit – <br />Account # <br />Fund <br />Description <br />Accounting Unit, <br />Account Description Amount <br />2025-26 14018760-62300 Housing <br />Authority <br />Housing Authority – <br />Contract Svcs. <br />Professional <br />$247,824 <br />Total $247,824
