DISCUSSION
In April 2000, the City Council approved construction of the Crean
Family Farm, a new children's zoo on a two-acre site at the Santa Ana
Zoo at Prentice Park. The farm includes eight buildings, including a
two-story barn with education classroom. To facilitate the educational
benefits the farm offers to visitors, furniture items such as folding
tables, folding and stacking chairs, lecterns, and audiovisual carts
are needed.
In addition, the City occasionally purchases various furniture items
for staff. The items include: desks, modular and computer
workstations, seating, filing and storage cabinets, bookcases, and
ergonomic keyboard platforms with articulating arms.
U. s. Communities recently awarded contracts for furniture with
manufacturers such as Haworth, Herman Miller, Inc., School Specialty,
Steel case (Tangram Interiors), and Virco. The County of Orange has a
8 contract with McMahan Desk, a dealer that represents various
manufacturers such as: Ergonomic Comfort Design (ECD), McDowell-Craig,
WorkRite, Hon, and Verst eel.
