RECOMMENDED ACTION
Award a contract to Adamson Police Products for vehicle conversion kits and
miscellaneous police products and supplies for a three-year period, in the
annual amount not to exceed $175,000.
DISCUSSION
In fiscal year 2007-2008, 13 police patrol vehicles have been scheduled for
replacement. In preparing the new vehicles for use by patrol, the Finance
and Management Services Agency Fleet Maintenance Division utilizes
conversion kits to adapt each vehicle with light bars, sirens, push bumpers
and prison restraint back seats. Adamson Police Products serves as the
Southern California authorized distributor for a long list of vehicle
manufacturers including Aedec International, Setina Manufacturer, Havis-
Shields Equipment Corporation, Federal Signal Corporation and Sound Off
Industries, all who serve as the core group of manufactures on the vehicle
conversion parts. Additionally, Fleet Maintenance converts u.S. Postal
Service vans for a fee, including reimbursement of all materials, by
installing lights, sirens and speakers.
