Title
APPROVAL OF A SPEND INCREASE WITH FLORIDA BULLET, INC. FOR MISCELLANEOUS EQUIPMENT AND SUPPLIES FOR POLICE DEPARTMENT
Body
Recommended Action:
Recommendation
Motion to Approve an increase in spending with Florida Bullet, Inc. for equipment, general operating supplies, parts, and similar items in a total not-to-exceed amount of $160,000 for Fiscal Year 2017.
Body
Background:
On December 13, 2016, the City Commission approved ammunition purchases from Florida Bullet Inc. in the not-to-exceed amount of $100,000 for FY 2017 for law enforcement SPEER ammunition and approved SPEER ammunition as a City Standard. This supplier occassionally provides the lowest quotes for other police related equipment, parts, general operating supplies, and similar items. Therefore, the Police Department is requesting City Commission approval to increase the spend amount with Florida Bullet to cover these additional small purchases increasing the not-to-exceed amount to $160,000.
By approving the recommended motion, the Commission is recognizing that multiple small and unpredictable purchase decisions that are likely to occur over the course of the year will total over $25,000. This amount of spending requires prior Commission approval under the City Code of Ordinances, Chapter 36, Section 36.03(B), "Multiple Acquisitions From Vendor Exceeding Twenty-Five Thousand Dollars ($25,000.00) in Any Fiscal Year".
City Attorney Review:
Approved as to form and legal sufficiency.

Funding Source:
