PURPOSE: To consider awarding a bid for the purchase of ninety 45 caliber semi-automatic pistols
for the Orange County Sheriff's Department.
BACKGROUND: Bids were solicited from 12 prospective vendors for the weapons. Six vendors
responded in a bid received on July 21, 1994,a bid tabulation is attached. Gulf States Distributing ,
Montgomery,Alabama submitted the lowest responsible bid for the pistols at a cost of$529 each. Total
cost for the weapons is$47,610. Extra magazines for the weapons will also be purchased form Gulf
States Distributing with the leather accessories(holsters,magazine holders,etc.)to be purchased from
Lawmen's Safety Supply. The total expenditure for weapons and accessories is estimated to be
$54,725.
The Sheriff has identified funds through court released drug forfeiture money and donations of
approximately 3.39,767 which will be used toward the purchase of the weapons and accessories. In
addition, deputies have expressed interest in purchasing their own present service weapon at a cost
of$175(includes holster). This will yield an additional$14,000 toward the cost of the new weapons.
It should be noted that deputies will sign an affidavit indicating that they are purchasing their present
service weapon for their use only and that the weapon will stay in their custody and will not be sold
and/or traded. With the considerations of funds presently available, the total amount of County funds
to be expended is approximately$958. However,forfeitures anticipated by June 30,1995 will exceed
$958,thereby requiring no expenditure of County funds.
RECOMMENDATION: The Manager recommends that the bid be awarded to Gulf States Distributing
in an amount of$47,610($529 per weapon).
