RECOMMENDED ACTION: That the City Council adopt a resolution authorizing the purchase of one hundred
twenty two (122), forty caliber (.40), Glock semi-automatic pistols and thirty (30)
Glock G22 magazines from LC Action Police Supply of San Jose, California, in the
amount of $20,569.77.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION: The Department's one hundred twenty two (122) Glock pistols are over eleven -years old.
We are experiencing an increase in mechanical breakdowns from repeated use. Glock,
Incorporated has a replacement program that would provide us new Glock .40 caliber
pistols and all the current upgrades for a fraction of the cost of pistols purchased outside
the replacement program.. Glock provides this program to law enforcement agencies because they recognize that police pistols more
than ten years old should be removed from law enforcement use. Currently, Glock is the only pistol manufacturer that has a replacement
program for our pistols. Additionally, this purchase would include thirty LE magazines, twenty to be fully loaded and stored in the
lieutenant's and sergeant's patrol cars in case of emergency. The remaining ten would be maintained for replacement and rotation.
Staff solicited comparative pricing from twelve suppliers. We received responses from three (Davidson's Law Enforcement, Prescott, AZ
- $22,847.95, Glock Direct, Smyrna, GA - $20,701.22, and LC Action, San Jose, CA - $20,569.77), and determined that LC Action's
processing of the replacement order would yield the lowest overall cost. The Police Department has worked with LC Action for over
twelve years and experienced a good professional relationship, and they were the only California distributor to respond.
Lodi City Code Section 3.20.070 allows for dispensation of the bid process when the City Council determines that an alternative
method of purchase is in the best interest of the City. Staff therefore recommends taking advantage of Glock's replacement
program through LC Action because of lower overall costs, their proximity to Lodi, and a twelve year relationship working with
them.
