Background
The Procurement & Contracts Division processes various contracts with multiple laundry and linen and garment rental service providers for use by departments County-wide. Multiple contracts are necessary as not all vendors provide the same items and services.
The term of this contract covers the period of March 31, 2013 through March 31, 2016. Items rented include uniforms, mats, and shop towels with weekly rental costs per item range from $0.07 to $4.75.
Reason for Recommendation
