Title
Authorize the City Manager to Execute a Purchase Order Change Order to Galls, LLC for Necessary Uniform Purchases, whereby the Amount of the Purchase Order will not exceed $62,000. - Tracy Frazzano, Police Chief
Body
BACKGROUND:
The existing purchase order to Galls, LLC is a blanket purchase order which was originally requested in the amount of $27,000. Throughout the year, this purchase order has been increased to $48,000 to cover Police and Code uniform needs, including clothing, boots, body armor, utility belts, hats and helmets, coats, and account for increased replacements and supplies cost adjustments. The Police Department is requesting a $14,000 increase to the existing purchase order, bringing the total purchase order to $62,000.
All Purchase Orders that exceed $50,000 require City Council approval per our purchasing ordinance Sections 2-258. This increase is within the Police department’s operating budget for uniforms.
The City is piggybacking off of the BuyBoard National Purchasing Cooperative contract for the purchase of uniforms. Per Section 2-255 of our purchasing ordinance, contracts or purchasing agreements that were obtained through competitive purchasing methods by federal, state, county or municipal purchasing organizations can be used by the City in place of issuing its own RFBs or RFPs.
FUNDING SOURCE / FISCAL IMPACT: Funding is available in the Police FY25 Operating Budget.
