​Ergonomic Office Furniture Procedure

​​​Step 1:​ Obtain approval from your department 

All workers have the option to obtain ergonomic office furniture that meets their needs, but prior approval is required from the department. Workers' departments are responsible for the costs associated with purchasing ergonomic office furniture.

Step 2:​ Test out some of the sample ergonomic furniture

All of the sample ergonomic furniture is located in Old Main 116. The sample options available in Old Main 116 include four chairs and a sit-to-stand workstation. Most features on the sample chairs can be altered (i.e. seat size, headrest, armrest size and height).
Once you have found the ergonomic furniture that you wish to purchase, take note of the item or model name.

Step 3: Request a quote

Email the ergonomic furniture items that you wish to purchase to Sean Klimek (sean.klimek@wisconsin.gov) and Kevin Erickson (kevin.erickson@wisconsin.gov) at the Bureau of Correctional Enterprises and ask for a quote. The representatives will construct a quote for the items you requested and retu​rn it to you for department approval and purchase.

If you were not able to find an ergonomic office furniture item that suited you, you can contact Sean Klimek and Kevin Erickson with the Bureau of Correctional Enterprises, or explore options here​.

Step 4:​ Place your order

This step is the responsibility of your department. Using the quote the worker has received for the ergonomic office furniture, place an order with Sean Klimek and Kevin Erickson. Once placed, the order may take up to several months to fulfill.

​In the event you are not able to find ergonomic furniture that meets your needs, you may use one of the secondary vendors listed here​ with a completed Mandatory Waiver Request for Office Furniture Contract.

​If you are not able to find ergonomic furniture through BCE or the secondary vendor list, you may complete waiver in the form of a Business Case Exception Request.​​
