SUMMARY RECOMMENDATION:

Summary Recommendation

Authorize the purchase and installation of upfitting for police vehicles from Arizona Emergency Products, Phoenix, Arizona  and Waltz Outfitting, Tempe, Arizona, utilizing a cooperative purchase agreement from the City of Chandler for one year with the option to renew for four additional one-year periods, one period at a time, depending on the appropriation of funds and satisfactory performance as needed at an estimated annual expenditure of $300,000.00. (Police Department-CPA-26-252) (Thomas Garrity/Robin R. Wilson)

 

end

 

STRATEGIC OUTCOME:

This motion supports the City Council’s strategic outcome of Safe and Prosperous by ensuring police vehicles are fully equipped and operational to respond to emergencies and maintain a safe community. They also support City Council’s strategic outcome of Connected and Engaged by integrating communication systems, mobile data infrastructure, emergency lighting, and modern public safety technology.

 

REPORT:

Police vehicles are purchased each year through an approved procurement process. Once delivered, these vehicles require specialized modifications to meet law enforcement standards. This includes installing emergency lighting and siren systems, radio and communication equipment, mobile data computer mounts, prisoner transport partitions, K9 containment systems, unmarked light packages for specialty units, and safety equipment mounts with interior adjustments.

 

To ensure timely deployment and operational flexibility, staff seeks authorization to use two qualified vendors for the upfitting. This will provide greater scheduling capacity, reduce downtime, and offer service redundancy.
