INFORMATION/BACKGROUND The Aquatics division within Parks and Recreation operates the Denton Natatorium, Water Works Park, and Civic Center Pool. Approximately 200 staff are required to supply operations and programs to patrons utilizing these facilities. The request for uniforms includes swimsuits for all Lifeguards, Instructors, and coaching staff whose job responsibilities require work in or around the water. The items requested are chosen based on the durability of the material, the ability to fit a majority of body compositions, their identifying colors, and brands that have a proven history of comfort for staff who can spend up to ten hours a day in them. Supplying uniform suits to staff alleviates the burden of oncoming seasonal workers from having to spend their own money on a required piece of uniform to perform their job. This Request for Proposals (RFP) is for the supply of workwear for aquatic staff whose primary function requires them to be in or around aquatic features. Materials will be ordered on an as-needed basis to outfit staff in uniform pieces associated with their functions. The contract bid was divided into four (4) sections. Vendors were offered the opportunity to submit a competitive bid on any individual section or all. Section A referenced Aquatic needs such as Lifeguard and Instructor uniform needs. Based on historical spend and future projections the recommended not to exceed (NTE) for this contract is $100,000 for a total potential five (5) year contract. Request for Proposals was sent to 134 prospective suppliers, including eleven (11) Denton firms. In addition, specifications were placed on the Materials Management website for prospective suppliers to download and advertised in the local newspaper. Five (5) proposals were received, references were checked, and proposals were evaluated based upon published criteria including schedule, compliance with specifications, probable performance, and price. Best and Final Offers (BAFO) were requested from the top firm. Based upon this evaluation, Xtreme Swim, Inc. was ranked the highest and determined to be the best value for the City for Section A – Aquatics. City Hall 215 E.
