FILE NUMBER
Award a contract to Sundance Trailers, Inc., d/b/a Santek Trailers, for one
utility trailer in the amount not to exceed $38,571.
DISCUSSION
The Santa Ana Police Department Traffic Division conducts periodic DUI
checkpoints in the performance of their field job duties. A variety of
equipment including commercial power generators and light towers must be
transported to the checkpoint area for traffic control. The DUI equipment
utility trailer is custom built to the specifications provided by the
Traffic Division to meet their durability and storage requirements.
In September 2006, a Request For Proposal was issued by the Police
Department Traffic Division to 3 local custom trailer manufacturers. Each
vendor attended a pre-bid meeting to review and clarify all specifications
and construction requirements.
Proposals were evaluated based on conformity to specifications, materials
recommended and ability to paint and maintain the trailer. The proposal
from Santek Trailers was assessed to offer the highest responsiveness to
the specification and meets the City's requirements. Prior trailers built
by Santek for the Police Departments have proven to be the best built and
top quality over competitors' trailers.
On August 21, 2006, the City Council accepted a $634,720 grant from the
State of California, Office of Traffic Safety under the Traffic Safety,
Selective Traffic Enforcement Program Grant. The grant allows the Police
Department to conduct a Selective Traffic Enforcement Program including
DUI/Driver's License checkpoints and patrols, and target enforcement of red
light runners, aggressive speeders and drivers with unbelted vehicle
occupants. The utility trailer will be used to transport equipment for
the Selective Traffic Enforcement Programs.
