Body
BACKGROUND
This action does not encumber funds; the purpose of a master agreement is to establish firm pricing for goods, for a specific term, which are ordered on an as needed basis according to annual budgetary appropriations. The estimated amount is intended as guidance rather than a cap on spending under the agreement, so that actual need combined with the amount budgeted will determine the amount spent under this agreement.
This master agreement will provide for uniforms and safety shoes for civilian employees citywide. Uniforms are a key element in identifying City employees, meeting safety regulations, and maintaining the professionalism of the City. Civilian new hires will receive five sets of summer and winter uniforms and an additional two sets thereafter. Safety shoes and boots are replaced annually or as needed.
The City’s standard embroidered logo will be sewn on all department uniform shirts, coveralls, and jackets. Examples of the uniforms and safety shoes in this agreement include but are not limited to the following:
• Long/short sleeve shirts and sweatshirts
• Pants, jeans, and shorts
• Basic and insulated coveralls
• Caps and hats
• Jackets
• Safety shoes and boots
As part of the solicitation process and in an effort to increase competition, the Office of Procurement Services used its procurement system to send out email notifications to vendors registered under relevant commodity codes. To further increase competition, the Office of Procurement Services uses historical solicitation information, the Internet, and vendor contact information obtained from user departments to contact additional vendors.
