Uniforms and equipment, including body armor, <br />help identify Department personnel by assigned duties, provide protection, and provide for a <br />professional appearance. New officers and employees are initially issued a full uniform, which <br />consists of a duty jacket, three shirts, two pants, leather gear, and a body armor vest. Thereafter, <br />uniforms are replaced on an annual basis (as requested) and the replacement allowance consists <br />of three shirts and two pants. Body armor is replaced every five years. Special units, such as SWAT, <br />Mounted Patrol, and K9 are issued different uniforms specialized for each unit, but are replaced in <br />a similar manner. In addition, the Planning and Building Agency purchases uniform items from <br />Galls for Agency staff members. <br />Traditionally, police uniforms and body armor vests have been handled as separate contracts. <br />Combining the two contracts will provide the option to select between the two vendors, will ensure <br />contract items stock availability, low price, and immediate service for required fittings and <br />alterations on uniforms and equipment. In order to maintain an adequate inventory and <br />continuously meet the needs of the Police Department, the contracts awarded to the listed vendors <br />25G-1 <br />
