6.3 If the bid shoe is selected the employee will pay no additional charges or taxes. Vendors will
request identification for verification so employees must have their City ID with them when they
purchase their shoes.
6.4 If an employee wishes to select a more expensive shoe he may use the voucher; however, he will
be required to pay the vendor the difference in price and taxes.
6.5 Problems with a bid shoe or vendor should be directed to the employee’s department
representative who will contact the Purchasing Department.
6.6 For problems with shoes other than a bid shoe, employees should direct any complaints to the
vendor who sold them the shoes.
6.7 To prevent inappropriate returns, the City has instructed vendors not to accept the return of
any shoes for cash, but they will credit the City or provide exchanges.
6.8 In cases where the employee indicates he is unable to wear protective safety footwear due
to medical problems or poor fitting, the department will notify the Safety and Health Manager.
Exceptions to these rules for bona-fide medical reasons will be considered on a case-by-case basis
and require the approval of the Human Resources Director.
6.9 Vouchers must be requested from the Safety and Health Manager. An electronic version will be
sent upon request.
