Total of Option 1 All New Furnishings 535,596.27 Fiber Optics 510,905.00 Book Collections 578.000.00 Total: 5124,501.27 OPTION 2. Furnishings With the expansion of the Libraries, there are some furnishings that will be replaced due to it being discontinued in its current use. These particular items would be stored for future use in other facilities or they could be used in the Gifford Youth Activities Center. There are two children's' tables with chairs that could be placed within the center. Likewise, there are 90 -inch shelves that will be available. Their availability is due to the purchase of audio/visual shelving instead of the continued use of bookshelves. The only acquisition necessary for the shelving would be the end panels, which would have to be replaced. 1 at cost would be approximately 31,040.72. Ihere would be a need to purchase 22 chairs. Based on the R. George quote, the chairs would cost $3.245.00. A more modest chair would be to acquire the same type of chairs to be used in the meeting rooms of the library. 1 hese chairs are quoted at $80.00 each resulting in a cost of 31,760.00. To complete the facility, two periodical units would have to be purchased for a combined cost of 3566.76, and a booktruck for $663.89 would also have to be purchased. By utilizing those items that would not have to be purchased, the cost of furnishings would be $5,516.37 utilizing costing 3141.42 each and S158 12 each. Utilizing the more modest meeting room type chairs at 380.00 each, the costs would be 54,031.37. Fiber Optic Connections the cost of fiber optic cable connections could be reduced in costs to only include the cost of providing the connections to the Activities Center and deferring the connection to the Aquatics Center to a future date. That deferral would save about 53,400.00 initially, but the cost to come back later would exceed the cost saved if the Aquatics connection was not included now. Books Only funding half the collections now and purchasing the other half in next year's budget could reduce the initial cost of the proposed book collection. That could save approximately $39,000, but that would also reduce the resources to the patron for which the facility is being provided. Totals of Option 2.
