BACKGROUND:

After a competitive solicitation process, Bradford County, Florida, awarded Contract No. BCSO2019-01 (the “Bradford County Agreement”) to Dana Safety Supply, Inc. (“Dana Supply”) for the provision of certain public safety/emergency vehicle and non-vehicle accessories for a term of five years, commencing July 15, 2019, and ending July 14, 2024. The Bradford County Agreement offers one optional five-year renewal period upon mutual agreement of the parties.

 

On November 29, 2021, the Ocala Police Department (OPD) was granted a procurement exception to piggyback the Bradford County Agreement for the ongoing purchase of vehicle and non-vehicle accessories. Since the contract inception, the City Council has approved $445,630 for vehicle and non-vehicle accessory expenditures under Contract No. OPD/211083. OPD has utilized the Bradford County Agreement to purchase Sig Sauer firearms and other equipment from Dana Safety Supply, Inc.

 

FINDINGS AND CONCLUSIONS:

On June 18, 2024, Bradford County executed its option to renew the Bradford County Agreement for the sole five-year renewal term available under the Agreement, thereby extending the contract term through July 14, 2029.  OPD seeks approval of its continued use of the Bradford County Agreement and anticipates that an additional $425,000 will be necessary to cover anticipated expenditures for firearms, firearm and vehicle accessories, and ammunition from Dana Safety Supply, Inc. through the end of the renewal term, as follows:
