Title

Ratification of a Three-Month Emergency Extension and Dollar-Limit Increase for the Term Contract for Uniform Garment Rental for various City Departments as requested by the Business Services Department (Citywide)

The City Council approved the award of a new uniform rental contract to Prudential Overall Supply on February 11, 2019
, but the new vendor required additional time to purchase and deliver the uniforms and equipment necessary to perform under the agreement.  Purchasing determined an extension to the contract with the current uniform vendor (Unifirst Corporation) to be an emergency procurement necessary for the immediate preservation of the public, health, or safety because uniforms are necessary for many City employees who, without their uniforms, could be put at a health or safety risk due to contact with hazardous materials, exposure to high temperatures, or other unsafe conditions.

The Business Services Department and Purchasing recommend ratification of the emergency three-month contract extension through May 31, 2019, and increasing the dollar-limit by $75,000, from $185,000 to $260,000 with Unifirst Corporation, based on estimated usage.
