II.     APPROVAL OF FURNITURE PRICING FOR MUNICIPAL COMPLEX PER STATE CONTRACT #425-001-01-1.

Interim Town Manager Taylor reviewed furniture needs and pricing received from American Business Interiors and 
PRIDE of  Florida and stated that he feels America Business Interiors has the best rates and is a local business 
and have been much more responsive to the Town’s needs than PRIDE of Florida.  Interim Town Manager Taylor 
stated that the pricing for the Police Department includes the furniture for the Police Chief’s office, Sergeant’s office, 
Lieutenant’s office, squad room, and report writing room, all at a cost of $8,571.66 and the Town Hall portion will be 
new furniture for the Town Manager’s office, the other furniture we currently have will be used in the new facility and 
the reception area will be a built-in area.  Interim Town Manager Taylor stated that the furniture for the lobby and a 
new table for the conference room is included in this price and that the existing chairs will be used for the new 
conference table. Interim Town Manager Taylor stated that the price for the Town Hall furniture is $4,942.91 for 
a total of $13,514.57.

COMMISSIONER STACEY MOVED, SECOND VICE MAYOR GUGLIETTA TO APPROVE THE FURNITURE 
PRICING THROUGH AMERICAN BUSINESS INTERIORS FOR THE MUNICIPAL COMPLEX IN THE AMOUNT 
OF $13,514.57.  
VOTE: ALL AYES.  MOTION CARRIED.  
 

Interim Town Manager Taylor stated that when the Town received the original telephone bids in November 2002, 
it was bid in two (2) parts, the first part was for the Police Department and the second part was for the new 
municipal complex.  Interim Town Manager Taylor stated that the bid award was only for the Police Department 
and the second part was never awarded.  The minutes show that the second part of the bid has never been 
awarded, and, because of the timing, the Town needs to keep this work moving and the amount will be brought 
back to the Town Commission.  Interim Town Manager Taylor stated that it should cost approximately $7,800 to 
finish up the telephone contract.
