Title
Dollar-Limit Increase to the Term Contract for Uniform Garments for Citywide Use (Citywide)
Through its uniform purchase program, the City purchases and issues garments to certain employee classifications. Items include t-shirts, polo shirts, jeans, traditional uniform shirts and pants, jackets, hats and ball caps. Departments using this contract include Energy Resources, Facilities Maintenance, Fleet Services, Parks, Recreation and Commercial Facilities, Solid Waste Management and Water Resources.
Usage by departments is greater than initially estimated and the dollar-limit increase is required for purchases through the following years of the initial term of the contract.
Purchasing recommends authorizing a dollar-limit increase with International Corporate Apparel, at $80,000, increasing the contract amount from $200,000 to $280,000 annually, based on estimated requirements.
