Date:August 23, 2022


Submitted By:

Justin Nartker, Director of Public Services

Matt McClure, Public Services Manager



Department:Public Services

Staff Recommendation:

Adopt a Resolution of the City Council of the City of Rocklin Approving a Purchase Agreement with Cintas Corporation for Uniform Services, and Authorizing the City Manager to Execute the Agreement.
BACKGROUND:

The City of Rocklin provides work uniforms to selected job classifications as described in Article 29, Paragraph I of the Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) for the AFSCME Public Service Employees.

 

Staff recommends the City enter into a three (3) year agreement with the current uniform provider, Cintas Corporation (Cintas), to provide continuity in pricing and services. Cintas is responsive to the City’s needs and provides excellent customer service. The terms and pricing were obtained through cooperative purchasing (or "piggybacking") on the Prince William County Public Schools (PWCPS) Contract R-BB-19002, attached as Exhibit 1, and is allowed under Rocklin Municipal Code, sections 3.04.090 C-Cooperative purchasing/procurement, and D-Piggyback purchasing.

 

The yearly cost is $24,280 for a three (3) year total of $72,840. All qualifying charges (e.g. new uniform costs, rental, laundering, etc.) are included in personnel costs and any miscellaneous expenses (e.g. shop towels) are charged to the applicable fund and specific division. This contract is based on the current number of employees whose job titles are identified under the MOU and allows for the addition/deletion of uniforms to the City’s inventory by the City Manager or her/his Designee as necessary.   

Fiscal Impact:
Uniform services are paid for by various funds and sufficient funds are available in each of the funds to support the recommended agreement.
