Funding will be from the Police Department General Operating Budget, Account 001000.290201.6.075. BACKGROUND: In order to provide uniforms and leather goods to its personnel, the Police Department initiated the bid process. Formal bids were received and an evaluation was conducted by my staff and the Department of Procurement Management. During the evaluation period police personnel still needed uniforms and leather goods so that they could carry out their duties. The previous contract had expired and all allowable extensions exhausted. It was, therefore, necessary to authorize an emergency purchase, utilizing the recommended vendor, as they had the required stock on hand to meet the Department's specifications. 97- 619 • CITY OF MIAMI, FLORIDA - • TO FROM Edward Marquez City Manager 4- 4o ald H.

The bid specifications were modified to promote more competition; however, only one bid was received. Another vendor has expressed concerns with the specifications. Members of your staff and the Department of Procurement are evaluating the one bid received as well as the specifications. While this evaluation, is being completed the Police Department must still continue toprovide uniforms and leather goods to its personnel. All allowable extensions have been exhausted; therefore, I am requesting your permission for an Emergency Purchase of these goods for a three (3) month period which will begin on May 1', 1997 and end on July 31"`, 1997. Solicitations Martins' Lamar Uniforms has agreed to hold their rates to 1995 - 1996 levels which reflects the price for the last year of their contract with the Police Department (Bid No. 92-93-010). We believe this is a fair and competitive price since the cost of these goods generally increases at a rate equivalent to the Consumer Price Index ("CPI") which has been averaging approximately 3% a year. Reason for selecting vendor Martin's Lamar Uniforms has provided the Police Department with these goods for the last four (4) years under Bid No. 92-93-010. It is both advantageous and convenient for the City to utilize them in this situation as they have the necessary stocks on hand to meet our specifM,,, _nMr 129,997 Cl Edward Marquez City Manager Page 2 Total cost of purchase $50,000.00 DHW:rph APPROVED/DISAPPROVED: Ed arquez City Manager W,vol", � W1.100"o Office of Budget and Management Analysis Approval: Account Code: 001000.290201.6.075 Amount: $50,000.00 Dipak Parekh Director a* Date 4®..
