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. ...........................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................

Councilmember Larimer moved to amend the motion as follows: "and for the Chief to provide the Council with an itemized list of spending under this contract on a monthly basis." Larimer indicated this monthly report will help the council be kept informed and will also create additional transparency. Chief Administrative Officer Derek Matheson provided clarification on the cooperative agreement and how it differs from standard City contracts. RESULT: MOTION PASSES [UNANIMOUS] MOVER: Marli Larimer, Councilmember SECONDER: Les Thomas, Councilmember AYES: Boyce, Fincher, Kaur, Larimer, Michaud, Thomas, Troutner 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. ...........................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................
