NO.04-043) <br /> <br />CONTINUED TO <br /> <br />FILE NUMBER <br /> <br />RECOMMENDED ACTION <br /> <br />Renew the contract with Adamson Police Products under the Cooperative <br />Purchase Provision of the County of Orange, for the purchase of traffic <br />flares for a one-year period in an amount to exceed $15,541; and increase <br />the aggregate limit for drug test kits and miscellaneous police supplies <br />for a one-year period in the amount not to exceed $25,000. <br /> <br />DISCUSSION <br /> <br />The Santa Ana Police Department issues traffic flares to officers for use <br />in the performance of their duties. Traffic flares have a variety of uses <br />by the officers, including routing of traffic during special events, and <br />cordoning off traffic during crime and accident investigations. <br /> <br />Santa Ana City Ordinance No. NS-2312 authorizes the City to purchase <br />against contracts from any public agency utilizing a competitive bid <br />process. The County of Orange recently renewed the contract with Adamson <br />Police Products for traffic flares for a one-year period. The initial <br />contract was awarded as a result of open, competitive bidding, and meets <br />the City requirements. Staff recommends the renewal to the contract. <br /> <br />The City establishes an annual blanket order list consisting of vendors <br />that provide supplies and services that are required by agencies on a <br />consistent basis. Adamson Industries provides a variety of supplies to the <br />Police Department including ammunition, fingerprint and drug test kits, and <br />patrol sedan equipment. In order for the Police Department to continue <br />using Adamson Industries for these supplies, staff recommends approval of <br />an increased aggregate limit. <br /> <br />22E-1 <br />
