NO. 07-012) CLERK OF COUNCIL USE ONLY: APPROVED ^ As Recommended FOR ^ As Amended ^ Ordinance on 15t Reading ^ Ordinance on 2"d Reading ^ Implementing Resolution ^ Set Public Hearing For_ CITY MANAGER RECOMMENDED ACTION CONTINUED TO FILE NUMBER 1. Amend the contracts for the purchase of ammunition with Dooley Enterprises, Inc., Proforce Law Enforcement, and San Diego Police Equipment Co., by $85,450 for a total not to exceed $183,800. 2. Increase the aggregate limit with Aardvark Tactical by $31,200 for an annual amount not to exceed $53,850. DISCUSSION The Santa Ana Police Department provides ammunition to its sworn officers, primarily for use during training and range qualification testing. Officers are required to requalify regularly to maintain proficiency in the use of firearms. The contracts for ammunition are designed to provide quality products at a significant savings based on quantity pricing. On February 20, 2007, the City Council awarded a contract to Dooley Enterprises, Inc., Proforce Law Enforcement, and San Diego Police Equipment Co. for a two-year period with provision for three one-year renewals. In the second year, the vendors have requested an increase in pricing on certain types of ammunition, due to an increase in manufacturing cost. Staff verified that this increase is consistent with the market. In addition, Aardvark Tactical, Inc. provides ammunition and the purchase of miscellaneous supplies, including bulletproof vests for the Police Department. The purchase of ammunition, when added to the vendor's current fiscal purchases, exceeds the $25,000 aggregate limit and requires City Council approval. In order to facilitate the purchase of munitions, staff recommends Council approval of the recommended action. 22C-1
