Explanation
Background: This legislation authorizes the extension of the Universal Term Contact (UTC) with Galls LLC for the purchase of uniforms for the Division of Fire by amending Ordinance 2968-2015 passed December 8, 2015. Ordinance 2968-2015 authorized the original contract award with Galls LLC under Solicitation SA006037.
Ordinance 2968-2015 authorized the original UTC contract award to Galls LLC for the purchase of Fire Dress and Work Uniforms for the Division of Fire. It was later discovered the original ordinance allowed an extension within the BACKGROUND section of the ordinance, however this language was not included in the “Be It Ordained” section of the legislation. It was therefore determined that it is in the City’s best interest to amend Ordinance 2968-2015 and include the extension language in the contract with Galls LLC for the option to purchase Fire uniforms up to and including the date of November 30, 2019, under the same terms and conditions of the original contract. Both parties agreed with this extension. A contract modification is needed to extend the contract through November 30, 2019.
This company is not debarred according to the excluded party listing system of the Federal Government or prohibited from being awarded a contract according to the Auditor of State unresolved finding for recovery certified search.
Fiscal Impact: No funding is required to modify and extend the contract.
