TO: THE CITY COUNCIL COUNCIL MEEETING DATE NO.
FROM: THE CITY MANAGER'S OFFICE I JANUARY 17, 1990
SUBJECT: PURCHASE OF HIGH-INTENSITY RECHARGEABLE FLASHLIGHTS FOR THE POLICE DEPARTMENT
RECOMMENDED ACTION: That the City Council award the bid for the
purchase of 65 high-intensity rechargeable Streamlight SL -20X
flashlights to the low bidder, LC Action. Police Supply of San Jose,
California, in the amount of $5,386.88.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION: On December 20, 1989, the City Council
approved specifications and authorized advertisement for bids. Bids
were opened on Tuesday, January 9, 1990, with the following results:
LC Action Police Supply, San Jose $5,386.88
L. N. Curtis & Sons, Oakland 5,431.77
Halprin Supply Co., Los Angeles 5,939.38
Butler's Uniforms, Sacramento 6,906.25
The Department currently issues 3 -cell non -rechargeable flashlights for
use by the officers. While these flashlights are police -type and
moderately heavy-duty, they don't provide the high-intensity beam
required in many of the current nighttime stop and search situations.
The heavy-duty aluminum case and 20,000 candlepower beam of the
Streamlight SL -20X flashlights provide an extra margin of safety for
the officers who use them, and the recharging capability provides a
savings in disposable battery costs.
Funding for this purchase is available in the Police Department's
Safety Equipment account.
Delivery is expected about 8 weeks after placement of order.
