AGENDA REPORT
DATE: September 28, 2026
TO: City Commission
FROM: Bill McDaniel, City Manager
SUBJECT: Janitorial Supplies and Dispensers
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
The City currently utilizes Unifirst Corporation for the provision of citywide janitorial supplies and restroom dispensers. Unifirst recently had a significant price increase that doubles or triples the cost of many of our most commonly used items. Staff contacted Cintas Corporation to evaluate if they could service the City's janitorial supplies needs and are satisfied that they can. Staff recommends using these services through a piggyback agreement utilizing the Omnia Partners cooperative purchasing contract, RFP# 3102-22-4618.
Under the proposed agreement, Cintas Corporation will supply and deliver janitorial supplies, restroom dispensers, and related products to the City on an as-needed basis at the contracted rates identified in Exhibit A. The proposed agreement will allow the City to obtain necessary janitorial supplies and restroom products for various City facilities while utilizing competitively solicited contract pricing through the Omnia Partners agreement.
Except as otherwise provided in the City's piggyback agreement, the terms and conditions of the agreement between Cintas Corporation and the University of Nebraska dated June 1, 2023, pursuant to RFP# 3102-22-4618, will apply. The agreement will provide the City with access to janitorial supplies and restroom dispensers as needed and will remain subject to the availability of appropriated funds.
RECOMMENDATION:
That the City Commission authorize the City Manager to execute a contract with Cintas Corporation, via piggyback of the Omnia Partners Agreement RFP# 3102-22-4618, for the purchase and delivery of janitorial supplies and restroom dispensers, and to execute any renewal options in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Omnia Partners Agreement and the City's piggyback contract.
FISCAL IMPACT:
Funds in the amount of $96,000 are available within various accounts throughout the City's funds for the purchase of janitorial supplies and restroom dispensers. Purchases will be made on an as-needed basis and within the limits of the approved budgets and available appropriations.
