City Council Regular Meeting

Meeting Date:

04/06/2021

BACKGROUND

The Police Department purchases uniforms from several vendors throughout the budget year. The Police Department’s uniform specifications are identified in the department’s policy which identifies the specific uniform styles in the Blauer brand. These specifications maintain a uniformed appearance by police officers within the department. During the purchase process, bids are submitted from vendors to determine cost efficacy is maintained. An issue that has been a constant delay in obtaining needed items is the delivery. With a uniform agreement in place, vendors can maintain a small amount of in stocked items needed by Schertz Police Department that are consistent with the department’s uniform policy. This agreement also outlines returns and warranty processes. A competitive sealed bid process was completed with two (2) responses being received. Upon evaluation of the responses it was determined that Nardis Inc provides the best value to the City.
