Clark General Services Administration Procurement Management Division 1 I I N.W. Ist Street, Suite 2350 Miami, Fl 33128-1989 Dear Mr. Clark: rZA �JA� ��A �11 Uniform Services As previously discussed with you, we believe it is in the best interest of Metro -Dade County to consider an alternate bid for the uniform services. This alternate bid is enclosed for Metro -Dade Aviation Bid No. 3355-3; 02. The alternate bid would involve the use of the existing garments. ARAMARK would continue to issue new garments to new employees, and upgrade existing garments as required. This is our current procedure in accordance with Section 3.6 and 3.9. In addition. ARAMARK is reducing the current pricing as detailed on the attached alternate bid. This would represent a yearly savings on rental charges alone of over $21,000.00. This alternate bid would also represent nearly $50,000 in additional savings to Metro - Dade County just in lost garments on this particular bid. During the termination of a bid (and beginning of a new one) many garments are lost, misplaced or just not returned to us by Metro -Dade employees. Also, over eighty percent (80%) of the garments returned by Metro -Dade Countv are reused in other customer locations. Due to the requirements of the bids to replace garments as required and supply new garments to add wearers, the garments are generally in very good condition and permit their reuse. The quality of the uniforms would remain within Metro -Dade specifications at all times. There are other costs related to the garment turnover, such as lost time, interruption of work schedules, employee lost time, supervisor lost time and overall hassle and inconvenience to the operation of Metro -Dade Countv. We appreciate your consideration of this cost savings alternate bid.
