TO: HONORABLE MAYOR
AND MEMBERS OF THE CITY COUNCIL
FROM: ROBERT A. BRADY
CITY MANAGER
DATE: OCTOBER 11, 2011
SUBJECT: AWARD UNIFORM RENTAL SERVICE AGREEMENT
Background
The current Uniform Service Agreement was awarded by City Council in December of
2007 and expired on April 15, 2011. Currently twenty field employees including staff
from Public Works, Parks, and Lakes Departments are being provided uniforms and
cleaning services. Each employee is provided eleven uniforms (shirts and trousers)
each. This is the standard for a uniform cleaning service agreement. Our current
cleaning cost per week is as follows:
Pants, shirts, shop towels and mats - $134.00 per week $ 6,968.00 per year.
Discussion
On September 28, 2011 at 1:00 p.m., the City received three (3) proposals from
qualified uniform cleaning companies. The three uniform companies were interviewed
by city staff using a score sheet. The companies are as follows:
1. UniFirst Corporation
2. G & K Services
3. Ameripride Services
Staff used five criteria's in scoring:
1. Attitude
2. Experience
3. Quality
4. Ability
5. Additional observations and comments
Results from the score sheets show UniFirst with the highest scorAGENDA ITEM NO. 4

Boston, Massachusetts. In that small Boston area garage we cleaned the garments of
local factory workers. Since then, we've grown to over $1 billion in annual revenues,
with 200 service locations across the U.S. and Canada Our customer demographics are
the who's who of The Fortune 100 List, companies like Wal-mart, Costco and Coke.
Today, we are the 3`d largest industrial laundry in the world! We operate 4 manufacturing
plants and 2 distribution centers that service over 225,000 customers each week,
encompassing 1.5 million uniform wearers. We now employ over 10,000 people and each
one of them has the opportunity to participate in the company profit sharing as well as
our company matched 401K program. We put our people first!
Even though we are a big company, one of the secrets to our success is that we treat each
one of our local service operations, like the one here in Ontario California, as if it were its
own small business. It's all part of the "Family Culture" that we are so proud of. This
allows us to ensure we are catering to the needs of local communities we serve.
2. Qualifications
Because of our role as a leader in the uniform services industry we tend to be
noticed in the press. Selling Power Magazine said, "UniFirst is one of the 50 best
companies to sell for." Forbes Magazine listed us in their exclusive Platinum 400. Inc.
Magazine recognized our Founder, Aldo Croatti, with the prestigious Entrepreneur of the
Year Award
UmFirst has continued to grow through the tough economic storm of recent years.
In fact we are the only uniform company to maintain growth during this period as our
competitors closed facilities, laid off employees and tightened restraints on their sales
departments from a pricing perspective. UniFirst today is the third largest uniform
supplier in the world and is currently the highest traded textile company stock on The
New York Stock Exchange. As a manufacturer of over 80% of our Imes, we continue to
grow and gain strength as a vertically integrated company.
3 & 4. Experience and Record of Performance
At present, we service some of the largest companies in the world Their
invoicing generates millions of dollar's per week in revenues. For example, we presently
service the following companies from Forbes Top100 Companies List:
Page 24 of 39
1. Wal-mart
17. Cardinal Health
25. Costco
72. Coke
As with many of our large, multi location, multilayered customers, there are many unique
requirements from delivery, to service, to reporting. At UniFirst we have the ability to
custom design and manage your program based on your exacting requirements. As you
will learn, moving forward, our garment track reporting capabilities are the best in class.
The system provides up to date, detailed information about each garment your employees
are wearing.

each garment through our stringent LSO 9001 certified requirements. This process is
backed with our quality assurance protocols to ensure image quality, consistency and
longevity in performance and design our every garment, every time. We have 4 plants in
Page 25 of 39

toughest use our customers can give them.
All products and garments meet or exceed the City of Lake Elsinore exacting
requirements and specifications. Any subsequent recommendations will continue to meet
or exceed your exacting requirements.

8. Overall Quality of garments
As 85% of our garments are made by us, they are designed to withstand the
toughest requirements. We also utilize some of the largest garment manufacturers in the
world, whose quality, appearance, color stay and durability are designed to withstand our
aggressive industrial wash process, continual wear and durability. We back all garments
offered with our FREE upgrade program.
9. Photo's of garments
To be provided along with actual samples upon final approval of garments.
10. Identification of meetinglexceeding the City of Lake Elsinore standards

Elsinore exacting requirements.
b. Management Plan:
City of Lake Elsinore will be assigned a team of 2 to ensure daily
management of your account is complete, along with UniFirst's no cost "Change-
As Needed" system you are assured that your employees continue to look good.
All garments go through our 20-Point Inspection process, each week. This process
is apart of the 4/3 count process which not only ensures that what was picked up
is delivered the following week but we also incentivize the plant personnel to
locate damage/repairs before garments are returned to your employees. This
process
helps ensure your employees maintain a consistent image throughout the entirety
of our commitment.
Page 26 of 39
1. QUALITY MANAGEMENT PROCESS
Each part of our quality process validates the other. The initial step is the 4/3
inspection process performed every week as described earlier. This ensures
visually through inspections by 4 separate team members that the garments not
only look appropriate but they work in unison to ensure that as garments begin to
show tell tale signs of degrade, i.e.: color change, thread separation, we capture
those garments and perform the no cost upgrade to replace those garments. Our
wash process is designed to ensure maximum cleaning of the garments with as
little degrade of the garment as possible, for this reason we only use industrial
grade garments, unlike retail garments, they are built to withstand high
temperature and detergents on a weekly basis. Fabric color stay designed for
maximum annual longevity, fabric wicking, collar stay and double stitch
technologies continue to aid in the maintenance of the garments longevity. These
programs are reviewed with you on a quarterly basis where not only do we review
the program from delivery to pick up but we also review the protocols with you
for approval.
2. PERFORMANCE TRACKING
UniFirst's unique approach to providing customers with a "pro-active" account
management sets us apart from the competition. Customers For Life is a system
of coordinated and integrated processes and procedures designed to provide
consistency in our service levels as well as the personal touch that can only come
from some of the most dedicated and conscientious employees in the industry. To
make sure you are happy with the service performance we provide you, we will
ask you to rate our performance once a quarter. Anything you indicate as less than
"Completely Satisfied" requires the Route Sales Representative to generate an
action request to correct any deficiencies. We want to address any issues pro-
actively instead of waiting until you bring it to our attention.
3. GARMENT IDENTIFICATION
Garments are tracking via bar code which includes all pertinent customer delivery
and account information including inception date of garment. Instant reports are
available and tracked through your online management web portal. In relation to
our "Change-as-needed" program our garments DO NOT have an arbitrary time
frame they must be in service before we change them.
Page 27 of 39
4. METHODS TO RESOLVE SERVICE/GARMENT DISCREPANCIES
Flexibility and responsiveness is key for a uniform program to run successfWly, to
ensure our customers receive a guaranteed 24-hour response anytime they call our
company we have a process called Request for Customer Action ...also known as
the RFCA or "RIF-W system. Anytime you have a request and call our customer
service number you actually speak with a local person that knows your company
instead of getting some automated phone system manned by agents in another
state.
Let's say you have a new employee that needs uniforms. You don't have to wait
until your next delivery day to place an order with your Route Sales
representative. Just call your local Customer Service Representative and tell them
of your request or need. They'll put it into our RFCA system under your account
name. At the end of the day, when our Route Representative finishes their route,
they will check for any new requests in the system. It is a nonnegotiable job
requirement for your Route Rep to call you and acknowledge your request before
he or she can check out for the day with their supervisor.
On top of that, our General Manager (Bill Mattson 14 year's industry experience)
gets a report of all open requests. Bill holds our Service Manager (Mark Powell
30+ industry experience) accountable and the Service Manager holds the Route
Sales Representative (Ruben De La Fuente) accountable for getting all requests
completed and closed in our system. In other words, there are no loopholes or
excuses- you can guarantee your need will be met period.
5. EFFECTIVNESS OF UNIFORM PROGRAM
First, you and the end-user are protected through our Service Promise. On a week-
in, week-out basis, we promise to deliver clean clothes that are repaired or
replaced if required Should you notify us of a repair need and we don't have that
garment back to you the next week with the repair completed... YOU DON'T
PAY FOR THAT GARMENT. Should we miss a weekly delivery due to
circumstances within our control... YOU DON'T PAY. Should you call us with a
service request and we don't resolve it within a reasonable amount of time ...YOU
DON'T PAY FOR THOSE RELATED PRODUCTS OR SERVICES.
If we don't perform on a specific item in any given week, you won't pay any
charges associated with that item until we resolve the situation to your
satisfaction. We perform or you don't pay. It's as simple and fair as that. The
bottom line for City of Lake Elsinore end users is they will receive the highest
quality garments and level of service in the industry. Reducing garment and
program frustration/cost increasing the effectiveness and efficiency to their work
wear program.
Page 28 of 39
6. INVOICING
We designed our invoices is that they are easy for you to read and understand.
That way you don't have to spend unnecessary admin time trying to figure out all
the charges. Each employee is listed separately with the garments they receive
clearly shown just below their name. The billing amount for each employee is
summarized on one line so you can keep detailed records. We also show the date
that each employee joined the uniform program.
Most businesses want to know if their employees are taking advantage of the
uniform program. The two right hand columns shows the number of garments
wearers are turning in each week and verifies that we delivered the same number
back to them the following week. You'll easily see if an employee isn't using the
program so you can encourage them to participate. But the real benefit is that
there are no hidden charges, no unexpected increases, and no unexplained items.
Everything is above board so you don't have to worry about paying for any
services that you're not receiving.
