AGENDA
HEADING:
Approval of procurement of additional uniform services for the Police Department
from Carpenter Uniform & Promotional Products.
SYNOPSIS:
Recommend approval of procurement of
additional uniform services for the Police Department from Carpenter Uniform
& Promotional Products. The City has a contract with Carpenter Uniform to provide uniform
apparel to the Police Department. The
amount of the contract needs to be increased, primarily because of a change to
the alternate style of summer shirt, cargo pants and shorts for summer wear. Funds in the Department operating budget have
been re-allocated to cover this increase.
FISCAL
IMPACT:
Amount: $75,000
Funding Source: FY07-08,
Operating Budget, State Forfeited Funds from SP324 POL982200, page 84.
ADDITIONAL
INFORMATION:
On January 8, 2007, The City Council had approved an expenditure of
$147,000 for uniform services with Carpenter Uniform and Promotional
Products, 5801
This year staff discovered these same shirts were being individually
replaced much sooner than initially anticipated. The summer shirt lettering and
coloring were fading out during a normal rate of laundering. Officers on the
street were not as visible to the public as originally intended by the
department. Review of this situation resulted in the changing to a more durable
and color fast garment. The change required replacement of all of the old
shirts, which increased the allotted expenditure. The cargo pants were also an
addition since they matched the new shirts in color and durability.
This fiscal year also included the introduction of cargo shorts for
summer wear. These shorts are in addition to the required uniform apparel.
