Body
Dear Sir:
Contract documents and specifications are being prepared for Contract 15-318-11, Furnishing and Delivering Washing Machines and Dryers to Various District Locations. This contract would begin upon award and end December 31, 2015.
The units would be distributed to six plants to provide employees that have had their clothes exposed to wastewater the means to launder their clothes at work, on their own time and with supervisory approval. The availability of laundry equipment would provide a public safety measure by not having clothes that have been contaminated with wastewater transported or washed at home. It is also consistent with the recommendations of the Centers for Disease Control and the National Institute of Occupational Safety and Health.
The estimated cost for this contract is $40,000.00.
The bid deposit for this contract is $2,000.00.
The Multi-Project Labor Agreement (MPLA) is not applicable to this contract because it is primarily a furnish and deliver contract. The equipment would be installed and maintained by the Maintenance and Operations Department.
Affirmative Action Interim Ordinance Appendix D will not be included in this contract because it is primarily a furnish and deliver contract.
The tentative schedule for this contract is as follows:
Advertise May 13, 2015

Award July 9, 2015
Completion December 31, 2015
Funds for 2015 are available in Account 201-25000-634990.
