INTER-DEPARTMENT MEMORANDUM
| To: | Scott C. Stiles
| From: | Tom DaRé
| | Dept.: | City Manager
| Dept.: | Police
| | Subject: | Authorize issuance of purchase orders to Keystone Uniforms OC and Galls-Quartermaster, Inc., to provide uniforms and safety equipment for Police and Fire Department personnel. (Cost: $150,000 per year) (Action Item) | Date: | 4/23/2019 |
|
| | | | | | | | OBJECTIVE
To gain City Council approval for multi-year purchase orders with Keystone Uniforms OC, and Galls-Quartermaster, Inc. to provide uniforms and safety equipment to Police and Fire Department employees. |
| | | | | | | | DISCUSSION
In 2014, the City Council approved the issuance of purchase orders for uniforms and safety equipment from the two remaining vendors operating in Orange County at that time, Galls/Quartermaster, Inc. and Keystone Uniforms. These two companies continue to be the only vendors in Orange County that are able to meet the high-volume and time-sensitive equipment and uniform needs of the Police and Fire Departments. Once the transition to the Orange County Fire Authority is complete on August 16, 2019, Fire Department uniform and equipment expenses will be covered under that contract, and this purchase order will then be for the sole use of the Police Department. In the meantime, it is expected that any uniform purchases for Fire would be minimal.
|
| | | | | | | | FINANCIAL IMPACT
Funds are currently budgeted in both the Police and Fire Department’s annual budgets for uniforms and safety equipment. |
| | | | | | | | RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Council:
- Authorize the City Manager or his designee to issue purchase orders to Keystone Uniforms OC and Galls-Quartermaster Inc. to provide Police and Fire uniforms and equipment, not to exceed a combined total of $150,000 per year for five years.
