Over the past few years, the Public Utilities Department has utilized rental
uniforms for approximately 160 field employees. Rental uniforms are best suited
for the employees who are routinely exposed to bio-hazard materials during
their work. These workers use the rental uniforms at work, changing at the end
of the day, thereby preventing them from wearing clothing home that was
exposed to contamination during the workday. Public Utilities also purchases
safety boots and reflective safety jackets for field employees.
Building and Maintenance Superintendent Tom Wojtkiw has eight electrical
trade employees including the supervisor who will be provided rental
flame-resistant garments. Building and Maintenance also utilizes Cintas for the
rentals of entryway floor mats for city buildings.
Public Utilities and Building & Maintenance request Council's authorization to
utilize the U.S. Communities contract #R-BB-19002 (expiration October 21,
2023) with Cintas for rental uniforms, floor mats, and safety-related clothing
rentals/purchases.
Public Utilities is also requesting an increase of$18,000 to the current Contract
authorization for uniform rentals. Council previously approved $100,000
annually in March 2016 for a term ending March 31, 2019. Bill Horne, City
Manager, approved a 10% increase ($10,000) and a 30-day extension of the
commitment through April. Public Utilities is requesting additional funds to pay
invoices for April and early May while the new contract is being processed.
APPROPRIATION CODE AND AMOUNT:
Budgeted funds are available in Public Utilities operating cost centers
544600-Uniform Rentals and 547100-Uniforms to cover the cost of this contract
for FY19.
Budgeted funds are available in Building and Maintenance operating cost
centers 544600-Uniform Rentals and 550400-Operating Supplies and Materials
to cover the cost of this contract for FY19.
Future fiscal year budgets will include funding for these expenses.
In response to questions, Public Utilities Director David Porter said the
increased cost is due to employee turnover, requiring new employees to
Page 5

be issued new uniforms and switching to a different type of shirt with lower
heat risks. Staff does not anticipate the rental costs increasing each
year.

Cintas Uniform Services of Tampa, FL, in the annual amount of
$175,000 ($25,000 Building and Maintenance and $150,000 Public
