Body
BACKGROUND:
This contract may be extended for not more than two successive periods of equal length at the same bid price upon mutual agreement of both parties.
The Peoria Police Department utilizes specifically manufactured clothing for uniform items.
For the past several contracts Sam Harris Uniforms has been our vendor. There has been and perhaps remains an issue with quality control and timely delivery. Further, there have been sizing issues that can be attributed to record-keeping or quality control. The previous contract with Sam Harris Uniforms ended on June 30, 2022. At the conclusion of the contract, the PPD had 507 clothing items ordered of which 370 had not been received.
On May 25th, 2022, the Purchasing Division sent out a Request For Proposal (21-22) for a uniform contract with the Peoria Police Department. On 7/6/22 the RFP 21-22 Police Uniform Committee met to review and discuss the bids submitted by Ray O'Herron, Sam Harris, MES, and Galls.
