DATE REFERENCE SUBJECT Award Bid for PAGE I of 2
May 10, 2002 NUMBER Various City Purchase of Worker's
Departments Uniforms.
RECOMMENDATION:
It~s recommended that the City Council award the bid for worker's uniforms to Aramark Uniform Services
of Beaumont, Texas. This contract will be awarded on a UNIT COST BASIS for approximately one year.
Funds are available in the FY 2002 Budget in various departments' budgets in Line Item 26 for the purchase
of uniforms for employees.
BACKGROUND:
Approximately six (6) years ago the City of Port Arthur started providing uniforms to its service employees.
This effort has improved the City's image, promoted teamwork, provides protection, improves security ant]
increases identification and recognition in the public sector. In order to take advantage of the lower cosl
Der unit when volume purchases are made, formal bids were solicited for aH departments' use with the
exception of Police, Fire and Health Departments.
The Purchasing Department advertised for bids on March 17, 2002 and March 24, 2002 with ~ne (9) bid
~ackets being mailed out. Three (3) bids were received and opened on April 3, 2002, for the purchase of
worker's uniforms. See the attached bid tabulation. Samples of apparel for which bids were sought were
required to be submitted one week prior to the bids. Each company submitted samples of apparel.
The bids were reviewed by the City staff, and Aramark Uniform Services of Beaumont, Texas was
determined to be the lowest and best bid for the uniforms. It was stated in the bid specifications that the
uniform contract would be awarded as a whole. Aramark was low bid on almost aH of the basic items, being
high only on those that we order vev/few of or on which it does not make sense to split the bids (i.e., cotton
apparel, apparel logos). Items 3A-4B are ordered in small quantities and Items 13A-15B are logo patches
or embroidering that go on apparel items. Aramark apparel seems to be of similar quality to the uniforms
provided in the past by other vendors.
BUDGETARY/FISCAL EFFECT:
Funds for the purchase of these uniforms were authorized by City Council in the FY 2002 budgets in variou~
departments in Line Item 26 for the purchase of uniforms. Funding is provided in this line item each fiscal
real'.
EMPLOYEE/STAFF EFFECT:
All service departments will be able to order offofthe contract with Aramark Uniform Services.
