Title
Consider and?take action?on a resolution authorizing a three (3) year agreement with Galls, LLC for uniforms and accessories for various departments in an amount not to exceed $1,053,337 (Chief of Police)
Background:
Approval of this item will authorize?an agreement with Galls, LLC of Lexington, Kentucky for the purchase of uniforms and accessories for Emergency Medical Services, Fire, Fire Marshal, Neighborhood Services, Facilities, and Police for a three-year period beginning October 1, 2026, through September 30, 2029, with two (2) one-year renewal options.

This adjustment allows departments to modify quantities as needed, address potential product discontinuations or substitutions, accommodate changes resulting from staff attrition or operational requirements, and purchase replacement or alternative items as needed while remaining within the not-to-exceed amount of the contract.
The inclusion of the 3% annual increase establishes flexibility within the contract and is not intended to represent an automatic increase in annual expenditures or a commitment of future funds. Expenditures in subsequent fiscal years will remain subject to the applicable annual budget approval and availability of funds.
