FOR <br />GLOCK HANDGUNS ($37,165) <br />(SPECIFICATION NO. 19-006) <br />(STRATEGIC PLAN NO.1, 5) <br />CITY MANAGER <br />RECOMMENDED ACTION <br />CLERK OF COUNCIL USE ONLY: <br />APPROVED <br />❑ As Recommended <br />❑ As Amended <br />❑ Ordinance on 15' Reading <br />❑ Ordinance on 2n° Reading <br />❑ Implementing Resolution <br />❑ Set Public Hearing For <br />CONTINUED TO <br />FILE NUMBER <br />Approve a one-time purchase and payment transaction with Proforce Marketing, Inc. for the <br />purchase of 342 new Glock 17 handguns valued at $131,556 in exchange for 342 used <br />handguns with a trade-in value of $94,392 and one-time payment of $37,165, subject to non - <br />substantive changes approved by the City Manager and City Attorney. <br />DISCUSSION <br />The Santa Ana Police Department currently offers its sworn members the choice of being issued <br />a Glock 22 (40 caliber) pistol or a Glock 21 (45 ACP) pistol. Recently, training Division staff, as <br />part of continual equipment evaluation, conducted research into the pistols and calibers being <br />issued at the Police Department. As a result of the research, staff determined that technological <br />advances in the 9mm cartridge have resulted in a pistol round that is not only more effective than <br />the 40 caliber round, but at a reduced cost. By switching to the 9mm cartridge, and the Glock 17 <br />9mm pistol, the Police Department can realize an approximate annual ammunition savings of <br />$34,000. Additionally, the Police Department will receive a trade-in credit for Glock 22 handguns <br />to offset the costs associated with the transition. By staying with the Glock handgun, the Police <br />Department will be saving on the associated costs of holsters and magazine pouches since they <br />are the same as what has previously been issued. <br />The notice inviting bids was advertised on February 16, 2018 and offers were solicited for the <br />used firearms. A summary of the bids and offers received are as follows: <br />77 Vendors were notified <br />10 Vendors downloaded the bid <br />0 Bids received from a Santa Ana vendor <br />2 Bids received <br />22A-1 <br />
