DISCUSSION
Police Officers are required to wear body armor (ballistic) vests for protection and safety while
performing their field duties. The existing concealable ballistic vests worn by the Police Officers
were purchased in 2006 with a warranty and life expectancy of five years. Over the last six
months, the Police Department evaluated several brands and models of vests based on ballistic
specifications as set by the National Institute of Justice (NIJ) Standard 0101.06 requirements for
Ballistic-Resistant Armor for Level II vests and judged coverage area, flexibility, comfort,
availability of the stock, and price range. The Police Department has selected two ballistic vests
which met all specifications and requirements. As a result, staff recommends Council approval of
this action.
The notice inviting bids was advertised on March 11, 2011, and bids were solicited. A summary
