A RESOLUTION OF THE LODI CITY COUNCIL
AUTHORIZING USE OF ASSET SEIZURE FUNDS TO
PURCHASE GLOCK PISTOLS AND MAGAZINES FOR
THE LODI POLICE DEPARTMENT
WHEREAS, Lodi Municipal Code §3.20.070 authorizes dispensing with bids for
purchases of supplies, services, or equipment when it is in the best interest of the City to
do so; and
WHEREAS, the Lodi Police Department's 122 Glock pistols are over eleven years
old and are experiencing increased mechanical breakdowns from repeated use; and
WHEREAS, Glock, Incorporated has a replacement program that would provide new
Glock A0 caliber pistols and all the current up -grades for a fraction of the cost of pistols
purchased outside the replacement program; and
WHEREAS, currently, Gook is the only pistol manufacturer that has a replacement
program for our pistols and provides this program to law enforcement agencies because it
recognizes that police pistols more than ten years old should be removed from law
enforcement use; and
WHEREAS, this purchase would also include 30 LE magazines, 20 to be fully loaded
and stored in the Lieutenant's and Sergeant's patrol cars in case of emergency, and the
remaining 10 would be maintained for replacement and rotation; and
WHEREAS, staff solicited comparative pricing from 12 suppliers and received the
following 3 responses:
LC Action, San Jose, CA
Glock Direct, Smyrna, GA
Davidson's Law Enforcement, Prescott, AZ
$20,569.77
$20,701.22
$22,847,95
WHEREAS, staff therefore recommends taking advantage of Glock's replacement
program through LC Action because of lower overall costs, its proximity to Lodi, and a 12 -
year working relationship with it.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the Lodi City Council hereby
approves the use of Asset Seizure Funds to purchase 122 forty -caliber Glock pistols
and 30 Giock magazines from LC Action Police Supply, of San Jose, California, in the
amount of $20,569/7.
