C. Curtis Blue Line Law Enforcement Equipment Purchases - Authorize
Chief Padilla provided a review of the Curtis Blue Line contract for law
enforcement equipment purchases.
The City is a member of the National Purchasing Partners. NPPGov is a
national cooperative procurement organization based in Seattle that offers
publicly solicited contracts to government entities nationwide. NPPGov serves
a variety of government and nonprofit organizations. NPPGov contracts are
created through a public solicitation conducted by a Lead Public Agency. In
the current instance, the League of Oregon Cities acted as the Lead Public
Agency in a Request for Proposal for law enforcement equipment. That RFP
resulted in a contract between the League of Oregon Cities and Curtis Blue
Line, a current vendor with whom the City separately contracts. The NPPGov
contract is currently in effect through May 25, 2023, but it allows for annual
extensions thereafter through May 25, 2026. Any purchases the City makes
from Curtis Blue Line under the purchasing cooperative's contract are subject
to the terms and conditions of that master contract. Given the purchasing
volume made possible through cooperative contracts, the pricing under the
cooperative contract is better than that which the City has available through
its own contract with Curtis Blue Line, and the City would like to take
advantage of this pricing for the long-term.
Chief Padilla advised that equipment purchases cover most police officer
equipment except for the vests, weapons and ammunition.

and will also create additional transparency.

cooperative agreement and how it differs from standard City contracts.

E. Safariland, LLC - Law Enforcement Equipment Purchases - Authorize
Chief Padilla presented information on the Safariland, LLC contract for law
enforcement equipment purchases for body armor.
The City has entered into an agreement with the state Department of
Enterprise Services, which allows the City to purchase through contracts the
state publicly bids and enters into with various vendors. The state has, in
turn, entered into an agreement with a national purchasing cooperative, the
NASPO Cooperative Purchasing Organization, LLC, which is a non-profit
subsidiary of the National Association of State Procurement Officials
("NASPO"). NASPO provides states, local governments, public educational
entities and other agencies with purchasing power that allows them to
leverage their spending through a single solicitation that obtains best value
pricing and superior contract terms than the agencies could do on their own.
