Santa Ana City Ordinance No. NS-2312 authorizes the City to purchase against contracts from any public agency utilizing a competitive bid process. The County of Orange recently renewed the contract with Adamson Police Products for traffic flares for a one-year period.

In order for the Police Department to continue using Adamson Industries for these supplies, staff recommends approval of an increased aggregate limit. 22E-1
