SUBJECT: CONSIDERATION OF AWARD OF BID FOR TACTICAL BULLETPROOF VESTS FOR
POLICE DEPARTMENT
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council take the following actions:
1. Find that F.S.O.C. LLC of El Segundo, CA is the lowest priced responsible bidder for the Police
Department tactical bulletproof vests; and
2. Approve a purchase order agreement with F.S.O.C. LLC totaling $99,360.30, from account
#155.31.3110.7160.
BACKGROUND:
Tactical bullet -resistant vests are items of personal armor that help absorb the impact and reduce or stop
penetration to the body from firearm -fired projectiles and shrapnel from explosions. They should be replaced
every 5 to 7 years.
DISCUSSION:
The specialized tactical bulletproof vests utilized the Police Officers on the Special Weapons and Tactics
(SWAT) and Special Enforcement Team (SET) Teams are due for replacement. Supplying SWAT and SET
Officers with new tactical vests is a vital Officer safety need. On October 15, 2019 (agenda item # 11), the City
Council appropriated State Supplemental Law Enforcement Services Allocation (SLESA) funds for these
tactical vests. That agenda item stated that staff would conduct a competitive bid process for these vests, and
then return to the City Council to award the bid.
A Request for Quotations (RFQ) for these tactical vests was completed and published online at Planet Bids on
January 22, 2019. On the bid deadline of February 10, 2020, staff received two sealed bid packages. Staff
reviewed these bid packages, and concluded that they were both fully responsive to the RFQ. The table below
summarizes the bid amounts:

The Police Department has purchased safety equipment from both vendors in the past, and was satisfied with

responsive bid, from F.S.O.C. LLC of El Segundo, and awarding a purchase agreement —see Attachment No.
