Item No: 5E Meeting Date: 6-23-2025 MOUNDS VIEW Type of Business: CA Administrator Review: City of Mounds View Staff Re ort To: Honorable Mayor and City Council From: Pete Szurek, Public Works Superintendent Item Title/Subject: Resolution No. 10114, Approving an Agreement for the Public Works Uniforms, Towels, and Mats Background: As per the Public Works Collective Bargaining Unit Contract, the City is required to provide uniforms for the members of the Public Works Bargaining Unit. Discussion: Our current uniform, mat and towel supplier, Huebsch, was purchased by Cintas in late 2024. Cintas has a partnership with Omnia, who provides national government discounts for uniforms, towels and mats. The City of Mounds View is part of the Omnia group ID number, 5285225. By signing an updated agreement with Cintas, under the Omnia partnership the City would save up to 30% on the current uniform, towels and mat charges. Mats are delivered weekly for the Public Works facility and bi-weekly for City Hall/Police; uniforms, towels, and rags along with the soil lockup are weekly for the bargaining unit. (Each employee is supplied with 11 changes of clothing, which allow a continual inventory as they are laundered weekly.) NOTE: CPI (Consumer Price Index) or 3%, whichever is less, will be the annual increase to this agreement. Strategic Plan Strategy/Goal: Create a culture where employees desire to work Financial Impact: None, this is a budgeted expense Recommendation: Staff is recommending the Council Approve the attached resolution, approving 3 year agreement with Cintas, who had purchased Huebsch in 2024, this will allow the City to take advantage of the Omnia group discounts and pricing. y u Pete Szurek, Public Works Superintendent The Mounds View Vision A Thriving Desirable Community
