This item is a request for FY2014 budget for uniforms for award GPDX-130016-FB not to exceed $120,000.
Explanation
The Gainesville Police Department initiated a Request for Proposal for uniforms in November 2012, Bid number GPDX-130016-FB. The bidding process culminated in contracts being awarded to DGG Taser and Tactical Supply and Azar's Uniforms. The awards are for a total of four years with an optional one year extension. A blanket purchase order for the 2014 fiscal year will be completed to the respective vendors for those items awarded. The City Commission approved the bid on February 7, 2013, with agenda item number 120654. At the time of approval, the Gainesville Police Department requested approval for an amount not to exceed $85,000 to fund uniform purchases for the remaining eight months of the 2013 fiscal year. The total budgeted for the 2013 fiscal year is $112,986. The $120,000 fiscal year 2014 request reflects an increase in uniform costs; as well as, an increase in the number of uniforms needed for the newly created Auxiliary and Reserves Units.
Fiscal Note
Funds for the increase will be available in the Gainesville Police Department's general budget pending approval of the proposed FY 14 budget.
Recommendation
The City Commission: 1) approve the amount not to exceed $120,000; and 2) authorize the City Manager or designee to authorize two blanket purchase orders for the selected vendors.
