RECOMMENDED ACTION
Amend the contract with ProForce Law Enforcement
aggregate limit by $12,500 for Taser electronic
ammunition and accessories for an annual amount not to
to increase the
control devices,
exceed $22,500.
DISCUSSION
The Police Agencies utilize electronic control devices to gain control
over a violently resisting subj ect. The Santa Ana Police Department
requires ten X26 Taser electronic control devices to replace,
supplement, and upgrade the department's current inventory of M26 Taser
electronic devices. The M26 Tasers purchased in 2001 are obsolete and
due for replacement. The current, new model X26 Taser electronic
device is smaller, lighter, and more effective. Ammunition and
accessories for the X26 Taser are also required.
The purchase of the X26 Taser electronic control devices, ammunition,
and accessories, when added to the vendor's fiscal purchases will
exceed the $10,000 aggregate total, and requires Council approval.
Participating police agencies utilize the ProForce Law Enforcement
Taser standard. ProForce Law Enforcement is the sole source
distributor for the X26 Taser electronic control devices, ammunition,
and accessories for California and recommends Council approval of an
amendment to the contract.
