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.
