jackets are worn due to age, do not provide the desired winter protection and lack
reflective material to assist with officer safety.
The Police Department staff reviewed the contract for specification compliance and
pricing and determined that the contract would provide the best product and pricing for
meeting the needs of the City.
GST Public Safety Supply, LLC has provided these uniforms to the Police Department in
the past with satisfactory results.
Staff recommends approval.
