RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF NATIONAL CITY
WAIVING THE BIDDING PROCESS AND ACCEPTING A PROPOSAL IN THE
AMOUNT OF $46,760.20, AND AUTHORIZING THE MAYOR TO EXECUTE
AN AGREEMENT WITH, ACTION TARGET, INC. FOR THE PURCHASE
AND INSTALLATION OF A POLICE INDOOR FIREARMS RANGE
WHEREAS, the Police Department has an indoor firearms range that is used to
train officers in the use of department approved firearms and to maintain proficiency through
required qualification shooting exercises throughout the year. The original bullet trap system
installed in the range consisted of rubber lamellas (curtains) which captured and contained the
fired projectiles; however, the rubber lamellas system required frequent replacement which is
costly; and
WHEREAS, there are currently available more modern and efficient bullet trap
systems that require Tess maintenance. The bullet trap system proposed is the Action Target
Inc. Rubber Berm Trap which consists of approximately two feet of chopped rubber granules
spread on top of an angled support steel modular structure to create a backstop or "berm" to
catch the bullets fired into it. The chopped rubber is a softer collection medium, ricochets and
lead dust can be significantly reduced which is an important feature to the Police Department for
the indoor range; and
WHEREAS, Section 2.60.220 B of the Municipal Code provides that the
requirements of formal bidding may be waived when the commodity, regardless of value, can be
obtained from only one source; and
WHEREAS, Section 2.60.220 D of the Municipal Code provides that the
requirements of formal bidding may be disposed with when the City Council determines by best
business judgment that due to special circumstances, it is in the City's best interest to purchase
a commodity directly or enter into a contract without compliance with the bidding procedure; and
WHEREAS, it is requested by staff that the City Council waive the formal bidding
requirements as authorized by subsections B and D of Section 2.60.220 of the Municipal Code,
and award the contract to Action Target, Inc. for the following reasons:
1. The City of National City qualifies for State of California GSA pricing.
Contract #GS-02F-9301 C.
2. There are limited providers of this type or product, quotes have been
solicited from vendors but they were unable to meet the City's
requirement of maintaining the existing footprint of the police range.
Action Target, Inc. will maintain the existing footprint of the range by
installing the modular steel support structure for the berm at a customized
angle, eliminating the need to remove an existing steel structure/wall (9 x
20 ft. approximately) used as part of the previous bullet trap system.
Action Target, Inc.'s quote was considerably less because they did not
require the City to change the existing footprint of the range thereby
eliminating the need for demolition.

3. The Action Target, Inc. system is an accepted product that is used by
other law enforcement agencies including the Chula Vista Police
Department. The Action Target, Inc. Rubber Berm Trap system consists
of rubber, treated with a patented process consisting of a special fire
retardant substance and non-flammable adhesive to stabilize the berm
and prevent migration.
4. Because City staff has compared prices and options, no further purpose
would be served by issuing a formal bid at this point in the process.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that the City Council of the City of
National City hereby finds that the commodity being purchased can be obtained from only one
source, and that due to special circumstances, it is in the City's best interest to purchase the
commodity without compliance with the bidding procedure.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the City Council waives the bidding process
and authorizes acceptance of a proposal in the amount of $46,760.20, and authorizing the
Mayor to execute an agreement with, Action Target, Inc. for the purchase and installation of a
police indoor firearms range.
PASSED and ADOPTED this 1st day of September, 2009.
