Title
Consider a resolution authorizing the Mayor to execute an Agreement with GT Distributors, Inc. for the purchase of public safety supplies and equipment.
Body
GT Distributors is one of the Police Department's sources for ammunition, tools, body armor, uniform items, and other public safety equipment. This contract has a not-to-exceed amount of $1.3 million over a maximum term that would end March 31, 2026. The bulk of the contract is a list of discounts from the vendor's catalog pricing for police and fire equipment. Fire spends about $20,000 annually with this vendor for needs that include firehouse supplies and equipment. Contracting with GT Distributors for these items does not preclude the City from seeking these items from other vendors, and contracts of this nature with several vendors are regularly maintained.
Cost: Not-to-exceed $1,300,000.00
Source of Funds: General Fund, Public Safety Equipment Replacement Program
