MT �T Item No: 5D <br /> overs VIEW Meeting Date: October 15, 2024 <br /> Type of Business: CA <br /> Administrator Review: <br /> City of Mounds View Staff Report <br /> To: Honorable Acting Mayor and City Council <br /> From: Don Peterson, Director of Public Works/Parks and Recreation <br /> Item Title/Subject: Resolution 9992, Approval of a Service Contract with Huebsch <br /> (Phonetically: Hip-shh) Services for Uniforms and Rugs <br /> Background/Discussion: <br /> The City provides uniforms for the Public Works Operations and Maintenance (O&M) <br /> Staff, this service is contracted out to make sure the uniforms are clean and in good <br /> repair. <br /> With the variety of work performed by Staff in the Parks, Streets, Storm Water, Drinking <br /> Water, Sanitary Sewer, Vehicle and Equipment divisions, this variety and type of work <br /> performed can involve oils, hydraulic fluids, biological contaminates (i.e. human waste, <br /> toxins, fungi, bacteria) and other chemicals. OSHA standard requires that the employer <br /> provide laundered services to protect the employee from cross contamination of their <br /> personal household laundry. <br /> Cintas is currently providing the uniform service and has for the last several years, and <br /> recently the level of service received from Cintas prompted Staff to reach out to uniform <br /> companies and request information/pricing on their services and to meet with each <br /> company. It should be noted that Staff attempted to work with Cintas regarding the <br /> service issues such as not having the correct number of uniforms delivered for the <br /> week, damaged uniforms kept in rotation though clearly "tagged" for repair, or not <br /> laundered at all. <br /> After reviewing and meeting with several companies Staff selected Huebsch Services to <br /> provide a quote for uniforms and rugs. Rugs are utilized by City Hall, the Police Station <br /> and at the Public Works facilities. Below are annual costs for the uniforms for the O&M <br /> Staff (does not include uniforms for the Sanitary Sewer position yet to be hired) and <br /> rugs. <br /> Huebsch Services: <br /> Year 1, 2025: $12,290.44 annually <br /> Year 2, 2026: $12,290.44 annually <br /> Year 3, 2027: $12,782.06 annually <br /> Year 4, 2028: $13,293.34 annually <br /> Year 5, 2029: $13,825.07 annually <br /> Huebsch has guaranteed a price lock for the first two years with the option to increase no <br /> more than 4% each year thereafter for the remainder of the contract. Staff is requesting <br /> to increase the 2025 budget for uniforms and rugs to $13,925.07: an increase of <br /> $2,016.00. <br /> The Mounds View Vision <br /> A Thriving Desirable Community <br />
