| | Subject: | Authorize a five-year purchase order with Dooley Enterprises for Police Department ammunition. (Cost: $140,000 per year) (Action Item) | Date: | 5/26/2020 |
|
| | | | | | | | OBJECTIVE
To seek City Council approval to authorize a purchase order with Dooley Enterprises, Inc. (Dooley) for the period July 1, 2020 through June 30, 2025, not to exceed $140,000 per year, for the purchase of training and duty ammunition for the Police Department. |
| | | | | | | | BACKGROUND
Dooley Enterprises, Inc. is the sole Southern California distributor of Winchester training and duty ammunition. In December 2015, City Council approved a purchase order with Dooley, which expires on June 30, 2020. The Police Department is now seeking approval to renew the purchase order for a five-year term, through June 30, 2025. |
| | | | | | | | DISCUSSION
It is important for Police Officers to train with the same ammunition they carry on duty, and it is for this reason that the Department uses Winchester ammunition for its training needs. The performance of the Winchester product is among the top in the industry, and has been the Department’s choice of ammunition for nearly thirty years because of its quality and low failure rate.
Pursuant to Garden Grove Municipal Code Section 2.50.060(d), and based on the Police Department’s recommendation, the Finance Director has determined that Winchester ammunition can only be obtained through Dooley Enterprises, Inc. |
| | | | | | | | FINANCIAL IMPACT
The Fiscal Year 2019-20 adopted budget includes $140,000 for Winchester duty and training ammunition for the Police Department; this amount will continue to be included in the Department budget in future years. There is no additional impact on the General Fund. |
| | | | | | | | RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Council:
- Authorize the Finance Director to issue a five-year purchase order, for the term July 1, 2020 through June 30, 2025, in the amount of $700,000 to Dooley Enterprises, Inc., for the purchase of Winchester duty and training ammunition.
