FROM: BRUNO RUMBELOW, CITY MANAGER
MEETING DATE: MARCH 19, 2024
SUBJECT: RENEWAL OF ANNUAL CONTRACT FOR POLICE EQUIPMENT,
ACCESSORIES, AND AMMUNITION
RECOMMENDATION: City Council to consider approval for renewal of an annual contract for
police equipment, accessories, and ammunition from Precision Delta
Corporation for the Police Department.
FUNDING SOURCE: Funds are available in the General Fund (Police Department) for an
annual estimated amount of $40,000.
BACKGROUND: The purpose of this contract is to purchase ammunition for Police
Department firearms training and qualifications throughout the year. The
department annually purchases thousands of rounds of both 9mm and
.223 ammunition to maintain proficiency with Police Department issued
firearms. Due to a global ammunition shortage due to world events and
continuous depletion of ammunition, the department must purchase
ammunition when available throughout the year to maintain adequate
stock. The maintenance of our ammunition stock allows us to continue
training and 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 was for an initial
one-year period with two, one-year renewal options. If approved, this will
be for the first renewal available.
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.
