Explanation
BACKGROUND: The Division of Police needs to procure uniforms for a new police class of thirty-five recruits which starts in December 2011. Also, there is a need to fill emergency requests for items that are damaged in the line of duty. This ordinance will enable the Division to purchase these uniforms from Roy Tailors in accordance with a Universal Term Contract established for this purpose by the Purchasing Office.
Additional Needs: Expenses associated with recruit classes are budgeted in the transfer category until needed. Therefore, funds need to be transferred within the General Fund budget of the Division of Police from Object Level (1) 10 to Object Level (1) 02 in order to purchase uniforms for 35 new recruits.
Bid Information: The Purchasing Office has set up an universal term contract FL004338 for the purchase of uniforms. This UTC was made in response to bid # SA003196.
This company is not debarred according to the Federal excluded parties listing or prohibited from being awarded a contract according to the Auditor of State unresolved findings for recovery certified search.
Contract Compliance No.: 31-1261664 - Roy Tailors Uniforms of Columbus, Inc., expires 10/01/2012.
Emergency Designation: Emergency legislation is requested because the Division needs to order replacement items as soon as practical and to complete any emergency requests.
FISCAL IMPACT: This ordinance authorizes an expenditure of $237,379.00 from the Division of Police's General Fund Budget and the Police's Continuing Professional Training funds for the purchase of uniforms. The Division of Police budgeted $1,398,000.00 in the 2011 Police General Fund budget for uniforms for existing officers and two recruit classes. Approximately $1.3 million of this amount has already been spent or encumbered in 2011 for uniforms. Funding for the emergency purchases will come from savings in the Division's Laboratory Supplies.
