PURCHASE 75 LAW ENFORCEMENT CARBINE
RIFLES AND ACCESSORIES THROUGH ADAMSON
POLICE PRODUCTS AND 75 TRIJICON OPTICS

APPROPRIATING FUNDS
WHEREAS, historically, the Lodi Police Department has routinely outfitted patrol
vehicles with rifles that are used by different officers during shifts; and
WHEREAS, over the last several years, the department evaluated the need to
outfit each individual officer with a patrol rifle and determined the purchase necessary to
increase officer and public safety. Each officer will be assigned a rifle to carry on their
patrol shift, allowing for superior stand-off capability to protect themselves and citizens
when coming into contact with armed criminals; and
WHEREAS, the purpose of the patrol rifle is to extend range and accuracy and
enable officers to handle scenarios including counter -sniping, long-range defense,
improved penetration against cover and against criminals wearing soft body armor. Each
rifle requires a separate scope that will be set to the specifications of the individual
officer to which it has been assigned to ensure accuracy and proficiency in use; and
WHEREAS, the Police Department solicited proposals for law enforcement
Carbine rifles and accessories from Trijicon, Inc.; Adamson Police Products; ProForce
Law Enforcement; and LC Action Police Supply, and evaluated all proposals to ensure
the department met all procurement requirements; and
WHEREAS, the Police Department also solicited proposals for scopes from
Trijicon, Inc.; Adamson Police Products; and ProForce Law Enforcement; and
WHEREAS, a summary of the proposals are shown as follows:

WHEREAS, funding was not appropriated in the Fiscal Year 2015/16 General
Fund budget; however the department determined this project is eligible for the Citizens'
Option for Public Safety (COPS) program funding, and feels this is the best use of that
resource; and
WHEREAS, staff recommends that the City Council authorize the City Manager

exceed $54,240.44 through Adamson Police Products, and rifle scopes through Trijicon,
Inc., in an amount not to exceed $31,347; and

Option for Public Safety (COPS) Program in the amount of $85,587.44 for the above -
