RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Purchasing Agent to execute, on behalf of the Sheriff-Coroner, a purchase order with LC Action in an amount not to exceed $200,000 to provide general and specialized police equipment for the period November 1, 2015 through October 31, 2016.

FISCAL IMPACT:

$200.000. 100% County General Fund; Budgeted in FY 2015/16.

BACKGROUND:

LC Action is a major, local police supply retailer who provides products that meet industry standards for current law enforcement and military units. They carry a varied inventory of general and specialized police equipment, which is fundamental for the day-to-day operation of the Office of the Sheriff personnel, in both field and custody settings. Furthermore, this vendor offers certified reliability and warranty options, as well as notable cost-to-service ratios on equipment they sell. This vendor has been in business since 1988.

BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)

The vendor is used routinely by other law enforcement agencies to fulfill their equipment needs. In some cases, LC Action is one of only a few local suppliers who have the ability to supply an agency the size of the Office of the Sheriff with the necessary equipment needed to provide basic police functions in the County. LC Action is based in San Jose, California, which further streamlines the selection, purchasing and maintenance of the equipment.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

The Sheriff's Office would not have Board authorization to enter into the purchase order with LC Action.

CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:

No impact.
