FROM: BRUNO RUMBELOW, CITY MANAGER
MEETING DATE: APRIL 5, 2022
SUBJECT: PURCHASE OF POLICE EQUIPMENT, ACCESSORIES, AND
AMMUNITION
RECOMMENDATION: City Council to consider approval for purchase of police equipment,
accessories, and ammunition from Precision Delta Corporation.
FUNDING SOURCE: Funds are available in the General Fund for an amount not to exceed
$20,000.
BACKGROUND: This purchase is for ammunition for Police Department firearms training
and qualifications. The Department annually purchases ammunition to
maintain firearm proficiency. Due to ammunition shortages, the
Department must purchase ammunition, when available and throughout
the year, to maintain inventory. The maintenance of sufficient inventory
allows for training and State mandated annual qualifications.
This purchase will be made in accordance with an existing interlocal
agreement with The Local Government Purchasing Cooperative (Buy
Board) as allowed by Texas Local Government Code, Chapter 271 and
Texas Government Code, Chapter 791. The contract is for a one-year
period.
Bids were taken by the Cooperative and a contract was awarded to
Precision Delta Corporation. The Police and Purchasing staff reviewed the
contract for departmental specification compliance and pricing and
determined that the contract would provide the best service and pricing for
meeting the needs of the City.
Staff recommends approval.
