RECOMMENDED ACTION
Renew the contracts with Carmen's Uniforms, Inc. and Galls, An Aramark Co.
LLC, for Fire Department uniforms for a one-year period in an annual
aggregate amount not to exceed $120,000.
DISCUSSION
The Fire Department requires uniforms to outfit new personnel and to
provide replacement uniforms when necessary for approximately 225
employees. Uniforms identify department personnel by assigned duties and
provide a professional appearance. In addition, other agencies provide
uniforms, shirts and miscellaneous items such as belts and boots for their
normal operations and to comply with safety requirements.
On December 4, 2006, the City Council awarded a contract to Carmen's
Uniforms, Inc. and Galls for a three-year period with provision for two
one-year renewals. The vendors have performed satisfactorily during the
past contract period and have agreed to renew the contract without an
increase in pricing. Staff recommends the first renewal of the contract.
The annual amount is based upon past usage and staff's projection for the
next year.
FISCAL IMPACT
Funds are available in the Fire Department Uniforms & Tools account (no.
01115360 63100) for $100,000 and various departmental Miscellaneous Office
Expenses account (no. 63001) for $20,000.
