FROM: BRUNO RUMBELOW, CITY MANAGER
MEETING DATE: NOVEMBER 18, 2025
SUBJECT: PURCHASE OF AMMUNITION FOR THE POLICE DEPARTMENT
RECOMMENDATION: City Council to consider approval for the purchase of ammunition from
Precision Delta Corp for the Police Department.
FUNDING SOURCE: Funds are available in the General Fund (Police) for an annual estimated
amount of $58,148.
BACKGROUND: This purchase is for ammunition for the Police Department's firearms
training and qualifications throughout the year. The department purchases
thousands of rounds of ammunition for practice and duty for pistols and
rifles annually, to maintain proficiency with Police Department -issued
firearms. Due to periodic global ammunition shortages, the department
must purchase ammunition when available to maintain adequate
inventory. The maintenance of our ammunition stock allows us to continue
training and qualifications.
This purchase will be made through an existing interlocal agreement with
The Local Government Purchasing Cooperative (BuyBoard), as
authorized by Texas Local Government Code, Chapter 271, and Texas
Government Code, Chapter 791.
Bids were taken by the Cooperative, and a contract was awarded to
Precision Delta Corp. 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
