City Council Report 
 
Date: 
May 18, 2026 
To: 
City Council 
Through: 
Michael Kennington, Deputy City Manager/Chief Financial Officer 
From: 
Edward Quedens, Business Services Director 
 
Kristy Garcia, Procurement Administrator 
Subject: 
Dollar Limit Increase to the Term Contract for Uniform Garments for Citywide 
Departments (Citywide)  
 
Recommendation 
 
Council is requested to approve the contract amendment as recommended. 
 
The Business Services Department and Procurement Services recommend increasing the 
dollar limit with Ace Uniforms of Phoenix (Primary) and Mission Uniform Supply 
(Secondary) by $250,000, from $475,000 to a combined total amount not to exceed 
$725,000 through 9/15/2026.  
 
Background / Discussion  
 
Through its uniform purchase program (Uniform Garment Program), the City purchases 
and issues garments to employees and the employees are responsible for the laundry and 
maintenance. Items include T-shirts, polo shirts, jeans and shorts; traditional poly/cotton 
and cotton uniform shirts and pants; and jackets, hats and ball caps. Departments using 
this contract include Arts and Culture, Business Services, Development Services, 
Economic Development, Energy Resources, Engineering, Environmental Management and 
Sustainability, Fleet Services, Department of Innovation and Technology, Parks, Recreation 
and Community Facilities Department, Transportation and Water Resources.  
 
The contract is in its final year. Work on a new contract started in late 2025 but the extent 
of specification changes from the many departments has slowed the rebid and the contract 
was extended through 9/15/2026.  The remaining funds are not enough to sustain the City’s 
needs during this rebid and award process of the new contract.
