EXPLANATION:
On February 1, 2011, the City Council approved Resolution #2011-22 for the purchase of tactical
equipment (i.e., rapid deployment vehicle) using funds from the FY 2010 Operation Stonegarden grant.
"The Armored Group, LLC" manufactures the Ballistic Armored Tactical Transport (Rapid Deployment
Vehicle), which currently serves as the industry standard. The Armored Group is a contract holder (GS-
07F-9375S) with General Services Administration (GSA). The Armored Group is one of the largest
commercial armored truck suppliers in the world; since the federal government has identified the
company as having the lowest price, competitive bidding would not produce any competitive
advantages. The California Emergency Management Agency has approved the sole source
procurement with The Armored Group. It is requested that the City Council waive the formal bidding
requirements as allowed in Section 12 of Purchasing Ordinance #1480, and Chapters 2.60.220(d) and
2.60.260 of the Municipal Code and authorize the Purchasing Agent to use the GSA contract with The
Armored Group for this procurement. ,
