Twelve <br />are assigned as patrol vehicles, three as non-patrol units with no light <br />bar and one unit is assigned to the Parks Security Patrol Division of the <br />Parks, Recreation and Community Services Agency. <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 City of Los Angeles' contract with Wondries Fleet Group for <br />police patrol sedans was awarded as a result of open, competitive bidding, <br />and meets the City's requirements. <br />22K-1 <br />
