Award a contract to Adamson Police Products for the purchase of tactical body armor vests in the
amount of $33,700; and an annual blanket contract in the amount of $25,000 to provide
miscellaneous police equipment and traffic flares, for a total annual amount not to exceed
$58,700.
DISCUSSION
Police Officers assigned to the Police Department's Special Investigation Section (Narcotics, Vice
and Career Criminal Units) are tasked with the responsibility of investigating and arresting
criminals who are commonly armed to protect themselves and evade capture. In order to
adequately protect officers while working undercover, a specialized tactical body armor vest with
rapid deployment and high ballistic protection is required. The manufacturer's recommended
replacement schedule is every five years. This contract will replace 20 vests that were purchased
in 2006.
The notice inviting bids was advertised on October 23, 2012 and bids were solicited. A summary

Products also requires council approval.
