AUTHORIZING THE POLICE DEPARTMENT TO

WHEREAS, the National City Police Department has been awarded a grant from
the Office of Traffic Safety ("OTS") to institute a comprehensive traffic safety campaign to
compliment the Serious Traffic Offender Program (S.T.O.P.) that will focus on enforcement
efforts in the areas of D.U.I., speeding and occupant safety; and
WHEREAS, the OTS grant allows for the purchase of three police motorcycles
and one D.U.I. trailer; and
WHEREAS, the motorcycle approved by this grant is manufactured by BMW,
and is used by the California Highway Patrol exclusively because of its safety features; and
WHEREAS, A&S BMW Motorcycles in Sacramento is the only west coast
supplier for the OTS approved police motorcycles; and
WHEREAS, Section 2.60.220(B) of the National City Municipal Code provides that
the Purchasing Agent may dispense with the requirements of bidding when the commodity can be
obtained from only one vendor; and
WHEREAS, OTS received quotes from vendors for D.U.I. trailers and referred
the Police Department to Universal Trailers in Riverside for the purchase of the D.U.I. trailer
because the company has worked with several other law enforcement agencies, has built
numerous dedicated D.U.I. trailers, has more experience than other vendors in this field, and
has better pricing and delivery service; and
WHEREAS, Section 2.60.220(D) of the National City Municipal Code provides that
the Purchasing Agent may dispense with the requirements of bidding when the City Council
determines that due to special circumstances, it is to the Citys best interest to purchase a
commodity without compliance with the bidding procedures.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the City Council of the City of National
City hereby approves A&S BMW Motorcycles in Sacramento and Universal Trailers in Riverside
as the vendors for three BMW police motorcycles and one D.U.I trailer, respectively, for the Traffic
Division of the National City Police Department, using funds from the Office of Traffic Safety Grant.
