Explanation:
The Police Department, along with other City departments, purchases uniforms for sworn and civilian personnel through Galls, LLC using the BuyBoard Purchasing Cooperative (Co-op). The current Galls, LLC uniform contract will expire on March 31, 2026, and was not renewed by the Co-op.
To ensure continuity of service, the Co-op established Contract No. 773-25, which expires June 30, 2026. The City plans to utilize this contract for 3 months at a prorated cost of $90,000.00.
The contract includes two optional one-year renewal periods, and the Police Department requests Commission approval to exercise the first renewal option at a cost of $360,000.00 for the term July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027. This renewal is contingent upon the Co-op exercising its corresponding first renewal option.
The Department requests approval of a total amount up to $450,000.00, which includes $90,000.00 for the initial prorated term and $360,000.00 for the annual renewal term.
The contract reflects increased per‑unit uniform costs compared to prior fiscal years. These cost increases may require departments to adjust their operations to remain within their approved operating budgets for the fiscal year.
Fiscal Impact:
A portion of the funding for this agreement is available in the FY 2026 Operating Budget in account numbers 001.204105.52100.552420.000000.000.000, 001.220101.53900.552420.000000.000.000, 446.150102.54500.552420.000000.000.000 and will be budgeted in subsequent fiscal years’ operating budgets subject to approval and adoption by the City Commission.
