Dollar-Limit Increase to the Term Contract for Ammunition for the Police Department (Citywide)
Ammunition was not purchased in fiscal year 2012/13 due to budget constraints and these additional purchases are necessary to reestablish ammunition levels to continue normal Range operations and provide quarterly training. Also, training new Police Officer recruits and Police Officer lateral hires has increased due to staffing turnover. In addition to this first contract year, the department is requesting an increase for years 2 and 3, due to ammunition's long delivery times, which can be up to a year.
The Police Department and Purchasing recommend authorizing a dollar-limit increase of $90,000.00 with San Diego Police Equipment Co, Inc., Miwall Corporation and Professional Police Supply, dba Adamson Police Products, based on estimated requirements. This will increase the annual contract amount from $355,086.64 to $445,086.64 annually. The $90,000.00 increase is funded by Asset Forfeiture (RICO) funding for Year 2, and the Police Department operating budget for Year 3.
