COUNCIL MEETI%!G GATE I NO.
DECEMSER 20, 1989 `.
SUBJECT: SPECIFICATIONS AND ADVERTISEMENT FOR BIDS FOR THE PURCHASE OF
STREAMLIGHT HIGH-INTENSITY RECHARGEABLE FLASHLIGH'iS FOR THE POLICE DEPARTMENT
RECOMMENDED ACTION: That the City Council approve the specifications
and authorize advertisement for bids for the purchase of up to 65
high-intensity rechargeable Streamiight SL -20X flashlights for the
Police Department.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION: The Department currently issues 3 -cell non -
rechargeable flashlights for use byr the officers. While these
flashlights are pol ice -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.
Estimated cost of this equipment is $6,500, and funding is available in
the Police Department's Safety Equipinent fund.
The bid opening has been set for Tuesday, January 9, 1990.
