RECOMMENDED ACTION
Renew the contract with Galls/Uniform Center, a division of Long Beach
Uniform Co., Inc., for body armor vests for a one-year period in an
annual amount not to exceed $47,051.
DISCUSSION
Police officers are required to wear body armor vests while performing
field job duties for protection and safety. The Police Department
requires replacement of a vest prior to the expiration of its warranty
period. A total of 80 vests will have warranties expire in the near
future and will require that they be replaced.
On April 1, 2002, the City Council awarded a contract to Galls/Uniform
Center, a division of Long Beach Uniform Co., Inc. for a three-year
period. The general requirements and specifications of the invitation
for bid included options for two one-year renewals based upon mutual
agreement. The vendor has performed satisfactorily during the past
contract period and has agreed to renew the contract without an
increase in pricing. Staff recommends the first renewal of the
contract.
