CITY OF MODESTO

COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT
DATE OF MEETING:

May 14, 2024
Date: April 23, 2024
TO: Mayor and City Council
THROUGH: Joseph P. Lopez, City Manager
FROM: Brandon Gillespie, Chief of Police
SUBJECT: Protective Helmet Replacement
CONTACT: Felton Payne, Lieutenant, [email protected], 209-572-9500 DESCRIPTION:

Consider approving the purchase of protective helmets to L.N. Curtis and Sons DBA Curtis Blue Line, Walnut Creek, CA, for a total amount not to exceed $170,383. (Funding Source: Asset Forfeiture Funds)
STRATEGIC PLAN ELEMENT:

The recommended action supports the City’s 2020-2025 Strategic Plan Initiative of Governance and Service Delivery by building community trust in city government through transparent and efficient service delivery.

BACKGROUND:

In the fast-paced and unpredictable realm of law enforcement, officers are often the first line of defense in safeguarding our community. They bravely face active shooter incidents, barricade situations, hostage crises, civil unrest, and execute high-risk search warrants. Despite rigorous training in de-escalation and tactical communication, the volatile nature of these scenarios poses a significant risk to both officer safety and public security.

Recognizing the paramount importance of officer protection, the Modesto Police Department has historically equipped its personnel with essential protective gear, including protective ballistic helmets. These helmets have been indispensable in shielding officers from harm, thus enabling them to effectively protect our community. By ensuring our officers are well-protected, we enhance their ability to safely manage critical incidents, thereby safeguarding our community and strengthening public confidence in our department. However, the current helmets, acquired in the early 2000s, have surpassed their operational lifespan. Although they have served MPD well, technological advancements and wear over time have rendered them less effective, with diminished comfort and safety features.

In the early 2000’s the Modesto Police Department purchased ballistic helmets to fully equip every sworn peace officer. The helmets were issued to each officer and were deployed in the field during high-risk situations. Personal protective equipment like ballistic helmets typically has #13..
- 252 -
City Council, May 14, 2024
Protective Helmet Replacement

Page 2 of 3 ends

an effective life of approximately five years. Over the last 20 years, the helmets have become worn and suffered interior damage. While the ballistic protection remains intact, the existing helmets no longer have the manufacturer’s warranty and additionally, due to the age of the technology, officers report great discomfort during long-term operations.

The Modesto Police Department strives to equip its employees with the latest personal protective equipment to help increase officer safety. While many other cities across the nation are experiencing an increase in violent crime, Modesto continues to see a decrease. One of the main contributing factors is that officers have a relentless drive to arrest violent offenders to drive down crime, and it is imperative they are provided with the appropriate equipment to keep them safe.

The current ballistic helmets have protected officers from injuries over the last 20 years but as the helmets have aged and worn out, they have lost their interior support. Since newer technology has been developed to make helmets lighter, more comfortable and offer an increase in ballistic protection, it is the desire of the Modesto Police Department to order 211 helmets, which is enough for every sworn officer.

DISCUSSION:

The Modesto Police Department began researching new ballistic helmet technology to determine if there were safer options available. The research team found the Busch helmet to be a significant update to the department’s current helmet. The helmet is lighter and adds an additional ballistic rating that passed Drug Enforcement Agency/Federal Bureau of Investigations helmet protocols, and the National Institute of Justice (NIJ) IIIA ballistic testing.

NIJ ballistic testing rates body armor (hard and soft) on its ability to protect from a range of handguns and rifles. NIJ IIIA is lightweight enough to be comfortable during the duty day and provide an effective level of protection from a larger caliber of bullet. The Busch ballistic helmet is NIJ Leve IIIA+ rated, comes with removable padding for added comfort, and an adjustable headband for a customized fit. The currently issued helmets are size-specific, which requires the police department to keep extra sizes on hand if a helmet is lost or damaged and does not ensure the best fit for everyone.

On February 1, 2024, the City Manager authorized the Purchasing Manager to solicit the procurement for Ballistic Helmets. On January 6, 2020, League of Oregon Cities issued Request for Proposal (RFP) No. 2010 for Law Enforcement Equipment on the NPPGov, Oregon Cities, and Find RFP online portals as well as the Daily Journal of Commerce and USA Today publications. On March 9, 2020, proposals were opened at 1201 Court St. NE Suite 200 Salem, OR 97301 by Procurement Specialist at League of Oregon Cities. Four (4) proposals were received and based on the criteria outlined in the RFP, four (4) contracts were awarded for this commodity which includes the Ballistic Helmet Purchase. Based on the highest scored responsive and responsible proposer offering pricing, product line, marketing, customer service proven experience, and coverage, City staff recommends to award to L.N. Curtis and Sons DBA Curtis Blue Line, Walnut Creek, CA to purchase Ballistic Helmets for an amount not to exceed $170,383.

National Purchasing Partners LLC DBA NPPGov is a cooperative procurement organization offering publicly solicited contracts to government entities nationwide which streamlines the procurement process by developing RFP’s for national competitive solicitations that meet or exceed local requirements. The competitive process is continually refined to best meet agency #13..

needs and allows National Purchasing Partners DBA NPPGov to offer exceptional products from nationally acclaimed vendors.

Modesto Municipal Code (MMC) Section 8-3.203 generally requires all purchases, which meet or exceed $100,000 for material, equipment, or contractual services to be formally bid.

However, exceptions to the formal bidding process are granted in MMC 8-3.204(d) “Where the Purchasing Manager, in his or her discretion, determines that a process other than the formal bid procedure set forth in Section 8-3.203 will result in procurement for the City at the lowest possible cost commensurate with the desired quality.” In addition, MMC 8-3.202(h) encourages the Purchasing Manager to join with the State of California and other units of government in cooperative purchasing plans when the best cost savings interest of the City could be served.

By utilizing the competitive bidding process of National Purchasing Partners DBA NPPGov, the City is complying with the requirements defined under this code for protective ballistic helmets.

FISCAL IMPACT:

The anticipated cost of $170,383 will be charged to the Police Department’s Asset Forfeiture Fund. As part of the item, a budget adjustment has been included to amend the FY 2023-2024 Operating Budget for Cost Center 19465 – Asset Forfeiture, Account 52038 – Public Safety Equipment <$5,000 in the amount of $170,383 to both expenditures and revenues for the Asset Forfeiture cost center to account for the anticipated expenses.

COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION:

This item was presented to the Safety and Communities Committee on April 15, 2024, and the committee recommended forwarding this item to Council for approval.

RECOMMENDED COUNCIL ACTION:

Staff Recommendations:

Resolution approving the Competitive Bidding Process from National Purchasing Partners LLC, DBA NPPGov, League of Oregon Cities, with L.N. Curtis and Sons DBA Curtis Blue Line, Walnut Creek, CA, for the purchase of protective helmets for a total amount not to exceed $170,383; and authorizing the Purchasing Manager, or her designee, to issue the Purchase Order.

SOLICITATIONS FOR: LAW ENFORCEMENT EQUIPMENT

1.0 INTENT:

1.1 GENERAL INTENT
The LEAGUE OF OREGON CITIES (“LOC”) serves as the “Lead Contracting Agency” for this solicitation on behalf of its members, and as authorized by the LOC Intergovernmental Agreement, which is an agreement for intergovernmental cooperation among select local Oregon governments and recognized under ORS Chapter 190. LOC, in association with the members of National Purchasing Partners, LLC dba NPPGov (hereinafter referred to as “NPPGov”), comprises a cooperative procurement group. NPPGov membership includes government entities, non-profit organizations across the nation, members of Public Safety GPO, First Responders GPO, and Law Enforcement GPO, Hawaii, and Oregon local government units (ATTACHMENT H), and WIPHE members (ATTACHMENT G), as well as all other government units in all other states, as authorized under the terms of the Intergovernmental Cooperative Purchasing Agreement executed by all Lead Contracting and Participating Agencies (the foregoing list of entities hereinafter referred to as “Participating Agencies”). This procurement group is soliciting proposals from qualified companies (hereinafter referred to as “Proposer”) to enter into a Master Price Agreement for LAW ENFORCEMENT EQUIPMENT.

The intent of this Interstate Cooperative Procurement Solicitation (hereinafter referred to as “Solicitation” or “RFP”) is to invite Proposers to submit a competitive pricing proposal offering LAW ENFORCEMENT EQUIPMENT to LOC, which will then be made available to NPPGov members locally and nationwide; to reduce expenses by eliminating multiple requests for proposals and multiple responses by Vendors; and to obtain discounted pricing through volume purchasing. Significant sales potential exists because the Master Price Agreement will be used nationwide which may allow Participating Agencies to forego duplicating the formal solicitation process and expend staff resources. Preferably, the successful Proposer will provide its entire catalog of products and/or services in order that Participating Agencies who wish to access the Master Price Agreement may order a broad range of goods and services as needed.

With the exception of successful local Proposer(s) capable of servicing LOC and Participating Agencies within the state of Oregon, successful Proposer(s) should have a strong national presence for LAW ENFORCEMENT EQUIPMENT for use by government agencies nationwide.

This Solicitation meets Oregon public contracting requirements (ORS 279A et. seq.) and may not be appropriate under or meet Participating Agencies’ procurement laws. Participating Agencies are urged to seek independent review by their legal counsel to ensure compliance with all local and state solicitation requirements.

1.2 POTENTIAL MARKET
The LOC is publishing this RFP to create publicly awarded contracts for use by its members, which may also benefit the thousands of fellow members of NPPGov, Public Safety GPO, First Responders GPO, and Law Enforcement GPO. These are nationwide programs representing member government agencies #13..
- 265 -
in all 50 states. We encourage each Proposer’s response to be a collaborative effort including manufacturer and distributor (when they are not the same company) to ensure nationwide contract utilization.

Proposer’s response should also take into consideration the considerable market potential for this Solicitation. Because the successful proposal will be incorporated into a nationwide cooperative procurement program including tens of thousands of state, local government and non-profit participants from all 50 states, the LOC believes that contracts created from this Solicitation will provide vendors with a significant market advantage. Members of NPPGov, Public Safety GPO, First Responders GPO, and Law Enforcement GPO and current vendors who participate in the program indicate the ability to shorten the sale cycle by eliminating the need to complete individual RFP processes is a significant advantage to participation.

The LOC believes that participation in the NPPGov purchasing program benefits both its Participating Agencies and successful Proposers. NPPGov engages with successful proposers who complete the Vendor Administration Agreement through a marketing and sales partnership. This partnership includes (but is not limited to) contract promotion to members, contract administration support to potential customers and live customer phone support.

1.3 REQUIREMENTS

1.3.1 The RFP and resulting Master Price Agreement are anticipated for use by the LOC’s government members, as well as other Participating Agencies across the nation. The LOC has entered into an Intergovernmental (interlocal) Cooperative Purchasing Agreement with other Participating Agencies for the purpose of obtaining Master Price Agreements with various vendors. Interlocal cooperative purchasing agreements allow Participating Agencies to make purchases at the LOC’s accepted proposal price, terms and conditions, provided that the Participating Agency has satisfied all of its local and state cooperative procurement requirements. By submitting a proposal, the Proposer(s) agrees to make the same proposal terms and price, exclusive of any possible rebates, incentives, freight and transportation fees, available to other Participating Agencies. The LOC and NPPGov will not incur any direct liability with respect to specifications, delivery, payment, or any other aspect of purchases by such Participating Agencies or nonprofit institutions. The Intergovernmental Cooperative Purchasing Agreement is incorporated by reference herein and is available upon request — See Attachment A.

The successful Proposer must work directly with the Participating Agencies concerning the placement of orders, disputes, invoicing and payment. The LOC and NPPGov shall not be held liable for any costs or damages incurred by or as a result of the actions of the Vendor or any Participating Agency. Successful Proposers must comply with the state and local laws, rules and regulations in each state and locality where the product or service is provided.

1.3.2 Each Participating Agency shall execute a Participating Agency Endorsement and Authorization included in the Intergovernmental Cooperative Purchasing Agreement. While the terms of the Master Price Agreement shall govern the general pricing terms, each Participating Agency may request modification of the Master Price Agreement in accordance with each Participating Agency’s state and/or local purchasing laws, rules, regulations and procedures, provided said modifications are not material changes. Each Participating Agency may, at its discretion, and upon written agreement by the Participating Agency and Successful Proposer, request additional legal and procedural provisions not included herein that the successful Proposer must adhere to if it wishes to conduct business with said Participating Agency using the Master Price Agreement.

1.3.3 NPPGov, Public Safety GPO, First Responders GPO, and Law Enforcement GPO provide vendor exposure/marketing and contract utilization support for the successful Proposer’s products and services. Successful Proposers servicing the awarded contract to Participating Agencies shall pay a Contract Administration Fee representing 2% percent of actual net sales under the Master Price Agreement as established in the NPPGov Vendor Administration Agreement (available upon request). Administration fee may not be listed or charged as a #13..
- 266 -
separate line item to users of the contract. The value of trade-ins or rebates shall not affect the amount of the administration fee paid to NPPGov.

1.4 MULTIPLE AWARDS
Multiple awards may be granted to meet the requirements of this Solicitation provided that such awards are differentiated by product make and model, service, and/or distribution regions and capabilities of the successful Proposers. Specifically, the LOC may award separate contracts to Proposers in order to cover all local and national geographical markets, electronic purchasing capabilities, and products and services identified in this Request for Proposal, as well as the diverse and large number of Participating Agencies.

The award of multiple contracts is to be determined upon receipt and review of all proposals, and based upon the general criteria provided herein. The LOC may solicit proposals from local qualified companies with or without a national presence provided that the successful Proposer is able to provide the LOC with the products and services requested. Multiple awards will ensure fulfillment of current and future requirements of the diverse and large number of Participating Agencies. In the event a local Proposer with no national distribution capabilities best meets the proposal selection criteria, multiple local and nationwide responsive proposals may be awarded simultaneously in the best interests of local commerce, compliance with local laws, and the Participating Agencies nationwide.

Proposers should be able to serve the needs of Participating Agencies on a national basis. However, this requirement shall not exclude local Proposers without a national presence that are capable of meeting the requirements of the LOC within the state of Oregon.

1.5 CONTRACT USAGE
The actual utilization of any Master Price Agreement will be at the sole discretion of LOC and the other Participating Agencies. It is the intent of this Request for Proposal and resulting Master Price Agreement that Participating Agencies may buy directly from Successful Proposers without the need for further solicitation. However, Participating Agencies are urged to seek independent review by their legal counsel to ensure compliance with all local and state solicitation requirements as well as the need of further notice prior to utilizing the Master Price Agreement

1.6 BACKGROUND OF NPPGov
NPPGov, owned by two non-profit healthcare organizations, provides group purchasing opportunities and purchasing administrative support for governmental entities and nonprofit institutions within its membership. NPPGov’s membership includes participating public and nonprofit entities across North America.

1.7 EQUAL OPPORTUNITY
The LOC encourages Minority and Women-owned Small Business Proposers to submit proposals.

PROPOSED PRODUCTS & SERVICES
CBL’s business is characterized by the diverse structure of the Company’s customer base. CBL’s ability to compete, thrive, and grow in such a diverse and demanding marketplace is a result of a corporate commitment to always do the right thing, right…an approach to life that is shared by each member of the CBL Team.

Providing equipment and services for our nation’s law enforcement officers is CBL’s business…the company’s only business! To serve the League of Oregon Cities’ region-wide customer base, CBL has a comprehensive product line representing the very best that the law enforcement industry sector has to offer. Although our “line card,” as evidenced in the following listing is robust, if a police department or other related agency/member customer identifies a need requiring a product that CBL does not currently carry, using our industry-wide contacts, we will find it and provide it quickly!
Contracts and agreements are in-place with many of the nation’s premier manufacturers of emergency response equipment, including the suppliers listed in the following table. Our arrangements with supplier-partners have been augmented with long-standing, strong, and mutually beneficial business relationships. Our relationships enable CBL to martial manufacturing resources in quick response to product demand spikes resulting from unforeseen disasters or to support contingency operations. Of course, CBL will provide only new and unused products representing the most current version of the manufacturer’s product lines.

The following table introduces CBL’s team and their respective products that are included in CBL’s proposed program is organized by the solicitation’s four product categories:

NOTE: “ATTACHMENT D: PRICING SCHEDULE” contains competition sensitive data. This data is not to be released to parties not associated with the LOC, the NPPGov, or other entities involved in proposal evaluation activities.

CBL’s price schedule includes two separate pricing approaches:

1. Pricing for customers located in the forty-eight contiguous states and Alaska (FOB: Origin)

2. Pricing for the State of Hawaii (FOB: Destination)
Generally, CBL is offering prices that are equal to our Most Favored Customer prices for items that are included in our GSA contract to maintain compliance with the terms and conditions of our contractual agreement with the General Services Adminstration. For those products not included in our GSA contract, CBL’s proposed prices are generally better than the prices CBL typically offers to our most favored customer.

CBL’s Pricing Schedule is based upon a fixed percentage (%) off marked prices defined within each of the individual suppliers’ catalog included in the “Current Catalog” section, starting on page 24 of this proposal):

2.0 ABOUT PROPOSER:

2.1 State of incorporation: California

2.2 Federal Tax Identification Number: 94-1214350

2.3 If applicable to the product(s) and/or service(s), describe the Proposer’s ability to conduct E-commerce or online ordering. [Insert response in box below]
During Curtis’ and CBL’s operating experience, the company has improved its distribution processes through continuous technological change and adaptation. Technical adaptations have focused primarily on information systems and processing—the introduction and implementation of innovative electronic order entry processing and management control techniques and technologies.

CBL’s eCommerce Storefront and eCommerce Catalog allows customers to connect to CBL’s system in real time using the Internet to search CBL’s product catalog, place orders, check the status of orders, check product pricing and availability, and review account information.

CBL’s electronic order entry system provides customers with 24-hour service, support, and sales. The company’s eCommerce storefront is a fully integrated, multi-channel sales and customer self-service portal solution that offers CBL’s trading partners and customers the ability to place orders. Some of the features of CBL’s eCommerce Storefront include:
• Quick and secure customer access
• Real-time order entry system
• Email order confirmation
CBL’s commercial catalog is included in our eCommerce Storefront, in a searchable online format with links to images, documents, and products. CBL’s eCommerce Catalog provides customers with the latest product information, pricing, and availability on a World Wide Web storefront.

Additional features of CBL’s eCommerce Catalog include:
• An attribute-based system, used to search for products • Additional fields of information for searching
• Unlimited links from the catalog records to images, specification documents, and page references As the state of the art of the ITS for this contract evolves, CBL stands ready to adapt to any IT-related updates as may be required to accommodate the needs of the Loc/NPPGov membership.

CBL’s electronic ordering system enables customers to efficiently conduct all procurement procedures online. The online platform provides customers, who prefer to conduct their buying process online, with the convenience (24/7/365 ordering); control (personalized search); and choice (selection and presentation of information) offered by the state-of-the-art ecommerce solutions platform.

CBL’s internet commerce platform (www.CurtisBlueLine.com) is online and live and provides our customers with online access to our product and services catalogue. Customers are able to gather product information, submit product inquiries, and place orders.

2.4 Describe Proposer’s system for processing orders from point of customer contact through delivery and billing. [Insert response in box below]
CBL Procedures for Processing Orders (other than “walk-in” business conducted at any of CBL’s retail stores)
CBL has developed straight forward procedures for order processing. Our order handling procedures are consistently applied to process routine, urgent, and emergency orders, product returns, and discrepant orders. Order processing is fully integrated into our automated distribution software platform. This electronic system provides our sales, marketing, purchasing, accounting, and management with real time order status, while tracking inventory and shipping status.

ORDERS
Delivery order is considered issued upon receipt of order by mail, telephone, or facsimile, or email.

ORDER PROCESSING
The following flow charts illustrate how CBL’s processes orders from entry through fulfillment, invoicing and postsales support After an order is received, CBL uses a simple and consistent series of procedures for processing customer orders.

The sourcing determination, made by the Customer Service Manager during the customer purchase order review process, is the primary factor made to determine the specific path to be taken by our staff while processing each individual order:

Order Scheduling & Delivery
Order scheduling at CBL is based upon one of two customer requirements. CBL’s typical commercial customer requests product delivery per product availability as specified by the supplier. CBL accommodates both scheduling requirements efficiently and effectively using our distribution software and consistent status reviews of all active orders.

Order Confirmation
Customer orders are confirmed by CBL after the Customer Service Manager has reviewed the customer purchase order (customer information, product and quantity requirements, pricing and availability, and the existence of any special requirements from the customer) and entered the order into our distribution software tracking system.

Not-In-Stock Conditions
It is expected that not-in-stock conditions for core items will be extremely rare; however, it is prudent that CBL have procedures to handle these occurrences. CBL will handle not-in-stock product orders by determining lead times necessary to complete the order, contacting the ordering activity, and advising current lead time of product.

Concurrently, CBL will offer alternative in-stock substitute products of equal or higher quality and at equal value for customer consideration.

Partial Delivery / Back Order Procedures
CBL will always strive to ship the entire order complete and on time. However, if CBL is in a low stock position on a particular product and the customer will accept a substitute item and accept a partial delivery, the order will be processed during CBL’s pre-order set-up to ensure that all items possible will be shipped either direct from our supplier or from one of the CBL warehouses in order to provide the level of service our customer requests.

Back-orders are tracked via the Company’s ERP system and reports generated showing “non-fills” until the order is shipped complete.

Partial deliveries and back orders status are provided to the customer on a regular basis until the order is filled.

Order Billing
CBL will submit invoices only after receiving assurances that our customer’s requirements have been met. Once the order has been shipped complete and all required activities specified within the order have been accomplished, CBL will submit invoices as required by the order.

Payment for Goods Received
CBL extends payment terms of net thirty (30) days from date of invoice.

2.5 Describe Proposer’s ability to provide detailed electronic reporting of quarterly sales correlated with NPPGov Member ID numbers of Participating Agency purchases as set forth in Addendum A to Vendor Administration Agreement (VAA), a copy of which is available upon request from the LOC. [Insert response in box below] CBL will employ the same control processes that have been successfully employed by CBL to monitor and control every sale made on all of our previous and current COOP contracts.

For example, GSA is very serious about GSA contractors selling products that are not on the contract to GSA’s customers under the GSA "banner"; selling to a customer not authorized to buy from the GSA contracts; and, selling GSA-authorized products to GSA customers at prices higher than authorized.

Our control processes, in-place and thoroughly tested, have passed numerous performance audits performed by the GSA to ensure our performance is in full compliance to very stringent GSA contract requirements.

These same processes, controls, and operational procedures have been and will continue to be implemented immediately upon contract award to ensure full compliance to sales tracking, reporting, and pricing requirements.

Additionally, with our Enterprise Resource Planning System (Oracle-NetSuite), our ability to submit accurate and timely reports is exceptional.

CBL will ALWAYS welcome a review or audit by NPPGov staff of sales orders to ensure trust is developed between the organizations and that the NPPGov maintains confidence in CBL’s Management Control Processes.

2.6 Describe the capacity of Proposer to meet Minority and Women Business Enterprises (MWBE) preferences, which may vary among Participating Agencies. [Insert response in box below] As a very competitive small business that successfully competes against larger companies, CBL is intimately aware that small businesses can often provide faster, more efficient and satisfactory customer-focused support than what is typical of large organizations. Therefore, it is CBL policy to develop and utilize to the greatest extent possible, suppliers of quality product and services provided by historically underutilized businesses.

Small Business, Small Disadvantaged Business, Women-Owned Small Business, Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business, Veteran-Owned Small Business, Minority-Owned Small Business, and HUBZone Businesses account for an increasing segment of CBL suppliers. CBL’s goal is to develop and more fully utilize these businesses as suppliers and business partners.

CBL views the LOC/NPPGov contracts as a platform with which to provide new opportunities to underutilized businesses. However, given the critical life-support functions performed by a majority of CBL’s proposed product catalog, the ability to source THE BEST and MOST RELIABLE products must necessarily take precedence over any concerns about business entity-type.

2.7 Proposer acknowledges compliance with Davis Bacon wage requirements where labor is concerned by indicating “yes” or “no” below.

Yes

2.8 By submitting a Proposal in response to this RFP, Proposer agrees, if applicable, to comply with all applicable provisions of Title 2, Subtitle A, Chapter II, PART 200—UNIFORM ADMINISTRATIVE REQUIREMENTS, COST PRINCIPLES, AND AUDIT REQUIREMENTS FOR FEDERAL AWARDS contained in Title 2 C.F.R. § 200 et seq.

Indicate “yes” or “no” below.

[Insert response in box below] All products included in this CBL proposal are available to the LOC/NPPGov membership located in the thirteen Western States of Montana, Wyoming, Colorado, New Mexico, Arizona, Utah, Idaho, Washington, Oregon, Nevada, California, Alaska, Hawaii, and other states as may be acceptable to our manufacturing partners, without limitations.

CBL may provide products outside the 13 states listed based on manufacturer approval.

3.1.A Is it your intent to offer the proposed products and/or services through a designated distribution/dealer network, indicate “yes” or “no” below?

YES X NO

3.2 Provide Proposer’s shipping and delivery policy, including standard delivery time and any options and costs for expedited delivery and return policies. [Insert response in box below] SHIPPING POLICY: CBL’s transportation strategy is to streamline the global supply chain by out-sourcing all transportation activities to providers whose sole business is to provide logistics and shipping services. CBL outsources all transportation logistics to established logistics providers who employ state-of-the-art technologies focused on zero defect shipping performance. In addition to local regional carriers, CBL utilizes Federal Express, UPS, DHL, YRC, USPS, Roadway Express, USF Corporation, and other well-known, global carriers.

This combination of well-established internal processes, highly trained technicians, and efficient carriers combine to establish CBL as a highly reliable distributor. Over 99% of CBL’s deliveries are made error free.

CBL charges no handling fees and never adds profit onto shipping and transportation costs.

DELIVERY TIME: Delivery times will vary, by manufacturer and brand from in-stock and shipment within 24 hours for certain pieces of equipment to 90 days for customized equipment. For URGENT or EMERGENCY requirements, CBL will work with our manufacturer(s) to expedite deliveries. Normally, our supplier partners do not charge for expedited shipments; however, CBL will advise the customer of all expedite fees whenever a manufacturer requires such fees be paid.

RETURN POLICY: CBL strives to maintain the highest level of customer service. CBL will refund or exchange your purchase within the following guidelines:
• Items must be returned in new, unused condition
• Items that have been used, damaged, or not purchased through www.CurtisBlueLine.com or at a CBL Operation Center / retail outlet will not be refunded
• All items must be returned within 30 days of receipt
• Any item desired to be returned after that date is subject to review by CBL, and may be non-returnable Custom Order Items and Clearance Items are non-returnable. A 20% re-stocking fee may be charged for any nonstock or special-order items. Subject to acceptance by CBL and the manufacturer.

Items purchased on www.CurtisBlueLine.com can be returned by bringing it into one of our locations, or can be returned by mail, by following these steps:
• Contact our customer service department at 877-488-0469 or [email protected] to request a return or exchange.
• A Return Goods Authorization (RGA) will be given and is required for the return of all goods. • Return the merchandise by Prepaid Mail to the address specified on the RGA. Make sure you include a copy of the RGA with the merchandise being returned, along with the original packing slip (we also recommend that you keep a copy of the RGA for your records).

CBL reserves the right to reject any and all returns. All returns are subject to review upon receipt of the merchandise and an inspection. Items received in condition other than originally shipped may be rejected. All refunds are issued via original payment.

3.3 Third party and/or subcontracting may be allowed. If applicable, detail the sub-contracting process (ordering, shipment, invoicing, billing) for those products not carried in Proposer’s distribution center. Alternatively, if proposer utilizes a third-party ordering, shipment, invoicing or billing partner, please describe in detail. [Insert response in box below]
CBL will not enter into any subcontracting agreements in performance of the required statement of work.

3.4 What is Proposer’s backorder policy? Is your policy to classify as “immediate or cancel” (requiring the Participating Agency to reorder if item is backordered) or “good until cancelled”? [Insert response in box below] It is expected that not-in-stock conditions for the most popular items used by law enforcement will be extremely rare; however, it is prudent that CBL has procedures to handle these occurrences, should they occur.

CBL will handle not-in-stock product orders by determining lead times necessary to complete the order, contacting the ordering activity, and advising current lead time of product. Concurrently, CBL will offer alternative in-stock substitute products of equal or higher quality that are included in the CBL proposed product catalog and at equal value for customer consideration. CBL’s customers are not required to reorder if an item is backordered.

3.5 Indicate whether the Proposer has any dealer or distributors that are authorized to fulfil purchases? Yes No

3.6 If answered yes to 3.5, include a copy of or link to authorized dealers or distributors.

Not Applicable

4.0 MARKETING:

4.1 Outline Proposer’s plan for marketing the Products and Services to the Participating Agencies on a local and national basis. Include any marketing incentives such as committed dollars for advertising, conferences/travel and custom marketing materials. [May attach marketing plan or insert response in box below] As with our current PublicSafety and FireRescue-GPO-related contracts, CBL’s sales teams will continue to target the areas with greatest population densities because population densities typically correlate directly with the number of serving police officers. However, our outside sales and inside sales (customer service representatives) teams will also target potential agency participants in less congested areas as the agency’s near-term procurement plans are identified.

Specifically, immediately after contract award, our marketing department will announce the award on our website and other on-line public forums in which we participate with our customers.

Additionally, CBL’s marketing department will prepare NEW marketing collateral for distribution by our sales teams and through eblast notifications to targeted customers (customers with near-term, open requirements). This collateral will explain the cooperative purchasing opportunity that is available to our customers through the new contract, and how, using this new contract the public agency may purchase a wide variety of products and services while saving time, man-power, and money.

We also renew a dedicated commitment to support the NPPGov in marketing campaigns and industry conferences to advertise the cooperative purchasing opportunities made available to the LoC/NPPGov membership and to potential new members via the new contract.

4.2 Explain how Proposer will educate its local and national sales force about the use of the Master Price Agreement. [Insert response in box below]
As previously discussed in section 4.1, CBL' marketing department will prepare NEW marketing collateral for distribution by our sales teams and through eblast notifications to targeted customers. This collateral will explain the cooperative purchasing opportunity that is available to our customers through the new contract, and how, using this new contract the public agency may purchase a wide variety of products and services while saving time, man-power, and money.

Marketing collateral will be provided to the CBL Sales Teams during a contract kick-off (K/O) meeting (kick-off meetings [virtual or physical presence] are standard operating procedures when CBL is awarded a major new contract).

LOC and NPPGov Personnel are encouraged to attend these K/O meetings whenever possible to establish relationships with CBL personnel and to make sure all necessary information is exchanged.

Subjects covered during CBL’s K/O meetings include program / contract introduction and overview; brands, prices and discounts offered; rules of engagement (contract terms and conditions); procedures for quotes, order entry and post-sales support; and, any other program-specific information that will help the sales force gain understanding of and motivation to exploit the opportunities afforded by the new contract.

4.3 Indicate the Proposer’s willingness to allow training to its local and national sales force about the use of the Master Price Agreement. [Insert response in box below]
CBL welcomes the training and partnership to ensure successful contract execution.

Should CBL be honored by receiving a contract in response to this proposal, CBL requests that a Kick-Off meeting be held with NPPGov personnel at the appropriate NPPGov facility for the purposes of discussing lessons learned on the current contract between the FR-GPO and CBL and to review CBL’s marketing plan. Members of CBL’s senior management, sales and operations staff would attend the proposed NPPGov-CBL Kick-Off Meeting. Further, CBL will schedule training to allow our sales force the use of the Master Price Agreement.

A significant way that CBL manages its business is the close and cooperative nature of the relationship CBL has with all suppliers. This mutual commitment helps to ensure full responsiveness to CBL customers, whether their needs are for product, training, or service. CBL’s approach to customer service, “CurtisCare,” includes customer service activity that precedes the order and extends well beyond order delivery to ensure complete customer satisfaction.

6.9 Product substitution policy. [Insert response in box below] Should CBL experience a significant lead time/delay in fulfilling an order, the customer will be presented with alternative product solutions, if available. The customer will be informed of the situation, the lead time expected to fulfill the order, alternative product availability including cost, delivery schedule and whether or not the alternate is included in the LoC/NPPGov contract.

CBL will immediately honor the customer’s decision to accept the delay, replace the delayed item with an alternate solution, or cancel the order

6.10 Identify trade-in program criteria (if applicable). [Insert response in box below] CBL’s proposed program does not include any trade-in program elements.

6.11. After hours service (including weekends and holidays) [Insert response in boxes below] Monday: Tuesday: Wednesday: Thursday: Friday: Saturday: Sunday:

As required
Although customer and technical support is available between the hours of 7:00am and 4:00pm, local time, Monday through Friday at each of our Customer Service Operation Centers, CBL understands that “normal office hours” has lost all real meaning in the global marketplace. Serving a world-wide customer community spanning all time zones, CBL’s customers are able to contact a company representative in any of several ways, twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week, and three-hundred, sixty-five days a year (24/7/365) to discuss order placement, order tracking, problem resolution, and the myriad of other topics that will arise throughout the term of a business relationship. CBL’s customers contact company customer sales, service, and technical representatives via telephone, cell phone, email, or facsimile using the contact information listed on our web-site and also included in this section.

It is a standard operating procedure that all outside sales representatives and management provide office, cell phone numbers, and email addresses to the company’s customers. This enables CBL’s customers to contact the company’s sales force directly for sales and service requests 24/7/365.

Additionally, using toll-free numbers during “outside-of-normal” business hours or on national holidays, CBL representatives are contacted directly or via message service 24/7/365 in order to immediately respond to emergency or non-emergency situations. CBL’s representatives will respond to all customer inquiries within 4 hours between the hours of 7am-4pm (local) Monday through Friday or within 24 hours during non-duty hours or national holidays.

Customers can use CBL’s “after hours HOT LINE” (888.950.6677).

6.12 Shipment tracking. [Insert response in box below]
CBL expedites with our manufacturing suppliers and tracks shipments using each carrier’s online tracking and status reporting systems to ensure that timely deliveries are made. Tracking information and Proof-of-Delivery is required from all suppliers.

6.13 Back order tracking process. [Insert response in box below] Partial Delivery / Back Order Procedures

Tools for Heroes since 1929
CBL will always strive to ship the entire order complete and on time. However, if the order requires drop shipment from multiple suppliers or if CBL is in a low stock position on a particular product and the customer will accept a partial delivery, the order will be processed during CBL’s pre-order set-up to ensure that all items possible will be shipped either direct from our supplier or from one of CBL’s warehouses.

Back-orders are tracked via the Company’s ERP system and reports generated showing “non-fills” until the order is shipped complete.

Partial deliveries and back orders status are provided to the customer on a regular basis until the order is filled.

6.14 Return Item process, including any/all associated fees (e.g., restocking, shipping, turnaround time on returns). [Insert response in box below]
When an end user alerts CBL of a product return, CBL will coordinate all discrepant resolutions with the customer’s buyer. CBL will provide disposition instructions to the customer no later than 7 days after receiving notification of that the end user has received discrepant goods.

CBL product return and discrepant shipment procedures are designed to negate any additional effort on the part of the customer other than communicating and assisting in the return of the item while ensuring accurate invoicing.

CBL immediately processes the corrected order upon customer notification of a problem, so that the replacement items are received as quickly as possible without unnecessary delays due to paperwork or other procedural issues.

CBL will accept returns and, if the authorized customer still requires the product(s), replace the product(s) under the following conditions:
a) Incorrect products were shipped
b) Products were damaged in shipment
c) Products arrived with concealed shipping damages
d) Products which are recalled, regardless of level of recall, except when the manufacturer’s policy states otherwise, in which case the manufacturer’s disposition instructions will be followed e) Other returns consistent with the Contractor’s normal return policy to include return of excess material ordered by the customer based on a project estimate.

If an end user returns products that have no discrepancies, CBL will not charge a re-stocking fee for items shipped from CBL’s stock inventory. If a product must be returned to one of CBL’s vendors, CBL will, on behalf of the customer, work closely with the supplier to waive or minimize restocking fees.

CBL does not charge a re-stocking fee for delinquent orders that are returned or if the customer chooses to cancel the order prior to delivery unless the order was for a custom product and our supplier charges a cancellation or restocking fee. If the ordering activity/customer does not need replacement of the returned products CBL will notify the buyer. The customer then will process a reimbursement action against the CBL for the prompt return of any expended dollars back to the customer.

6.15 Electronic billing. [Insert response in box below] CBL will submit invoices once the order has been shipped complete and all required activities specified within the order have been accomplished. After fulfillment, CBL will submit invoices in accordance to customer requirements.

CBL extends payment terms of net thirty (30) days from date of invoice.

Typically, invoices are transmitted via email or, in the case of our federal government customers, electronically via iRAPT (federal government’s Wide Area Work Flow, WAWF, invoicing system) #13..

6.16 Explain how Proposer will resolve complaints, issues, or challenges. [Insert response in box below] CBL has developed a strong history of customer satisfaction because the company has developed a reputation for taking immediate action to resolve problems as they arise. CBL addresses problems using a standard but effective problem-solving technique:
• Discuss the problem with customer to determine problem’s root cause • Develop a plan of action to resolve problem (if shipping or processing error, or receipt of damaged good; our staff will ship replacement product immediately)
• Coordinate resolution with customer
• Take action to resolve problem
• Communicate with customer until a satisfactory outcome is achieved • Review internal procedures/policies/training to ensure problem does not recur • During the problem-solving process, CBL encourages customers to participate in the decision-making processes and action plan development
The CBL Sales Team evaluates customer satisfaction with regular personal visits to each ordering activity and potential ordering activity. The primary responsibilities of CBL’s Sales include end-user activity visits, product training, product research, promotion, and training to ensure total customer satisfaction.

Customer service is one of CBL’s core strengths. This strength is enabled because CBL maintains a high ratio of customer service representatives to outside sales representatives. Paired with one or more customer service representatives, each member of CBL’s Outside Sales Team is assured to be able to respond to customer requirements in a rapid and accurate manner.

6.17 Other services not already covered. [Insert response in box below] Stores/Warehousing…CBL & Curtis remain one of America’s largest stocking distributors of emergency response equipment.

CBL & Curtis warehouse facilities total over 60,000 square feet of inventory space with firefighting, search & rescue, safety, HAZMAT, law enforcement, and emergency equipment on hand.

7.0 DELIVERY AND FREIGHT CHARGES:

7.1 Identify delivery and/or shipping costs or provide a shipping rate schedule based on weight, item, and/or destination for all items ordered within the continental U.S. (and Hawaii/Alaska). The Proposer shall identify all exceptions to this shipping rate schedule. [Insert response in box below]
CBL price quotes for Hawaiian inquiries will be FOB: Destination that will be calculated using the following formula: list price less the brand discount plus an estimated freight charge. CBL will estimate freight by using the UPS freight calculator listed at UPS Freight Calculator (https://wwwapps.ups.com/fctc/timeandcost?loc=en_US&ActionOriginPair=SeamlessExperience_StartSession&F REIGHT_TYPE=LTL) or other calculators made publicly available by other shipping companies. CBL will always seek best value for our customers.

CBL will provide a quote to all other states in the contiguous 48 plus Alaska requesting to “piggy-back” on any resulting contract between CBL and the member. CBL quoted prices for shipments to the continental USA plus Alaska will be FOB: Origin and will be calculated using the following formula: list price less the brand discount plus an estimated freight charge.

The customer invoice will include actual freight charges as a separate line item.

7.2 Identify policy for transfer of product ownership (delivery) and damage/issue resolution. [Insert response in box below]

Transfer of ownership from CBL to customer occurs at time of delivery. CBL and/or our carriers will be responsible for damage from pick-up at CBL warehouse or manufacturer’s dock (if drop-shipped) though drop-off at customer’s warehouse/point of delivery.

Customer acceptance is expected to be at time of delivery. Customers shall inspect product at time of delivery and notify CBL as soon as possible upon a determination that the product arrived damaged.

SCOPE OF WORK

2.1 REQUIREMENTS OF PROPOSERS SUBMITTING A RESPONSE:

RESPONSE:

CBL’s response centered around providing two general areas of evidence to show the Company is properly qualified and prepared to deliver the specified products and services to the League of Oregon Cities members, successful history performing on closely related programs and the construct of a robust product catalog meeting the needs of today’s law enforcement and containing multiple brands and products for the product categories:
* The “Qualifications” section provides a record of CBL’s historical and on-going success managing similarly large and complex programs requring the support to a geographically dispersed and numerically large number of customers requiring a wide array of diverse products. Additionally, the proposed program will be managed by CBL’s most experienced leaders representing general management, program management, sales and marketing, customer service and product support.
* The “Executive Summary” and the “Proposed Products and Services” section describe the products and service offerings.

All catalogs included in this CBL proposal are available to the League of Oregon Cities membership located in the thirteen Western States of Montana, Wyoming, Colorado, New Mexico, Arizona, Utah, Idaho, Washington, Oregon, Nevada, California, Alaska, Hawaii, and other states as may be acceptable to our manufacturing partners, without limitations. Many of the catalogs may be available outside the states listed as approved by the manufacturer.

RESPONSE:

CBL’s lead-in paragraph to the “Attachment D: Pricing Schedule” (page 7 in this proposal) describes that our proposed prices are generally better than the prices offered to our most favored customer. The exceptions are for those products contained within our proposal that are also included in our GSA contract. GSA contracts require the contract holder to offer products included on GSA contracts but not sold to GSA customers at prices no lower that the price received by the most favored customer. Exceptions may be made based on dissimilar scope of work.

As described in paragraph 2.5 of “Attachment B: Proposer Profile Workbook” (page 12), CBL will employ the same control processes that have been successfully employed by CBL’s corporate parent for over twenty-years to monitor and control every sale made on our GSA contract and all other contracts with similar operational controls, and sales tracking and reporting requirements.

2.2.2 All products offered must be new, unused and most current product lines, unless otherwise clearly identified as remanufactured goods.

RESPONSE: All products offered and delivered will be new, unused and represent the most current models unless otherwise clearly identified or as may be required by the membership (e.g., inventory replenishment).

RESPONSE: CBL’s Operation Centers located in Boise, ID., Kent, WA., Phoenix, AZ., Tigard, OR., Salt Lake City, and West Sacramento, CA include retail outlets, service centers, and product support spoecialists to assist membership.

Additionally, Curtis’ centralized warehouse, located in Salt Lake City, provides a full suite of Integrated Logistics Support and Services to the Compay’s customers.

CurtisCare is a program that offers the Company’s customers with robust training programs on all aspects of deployment; use; care and maintenance; and, repair procedures and support services for all products available from CBL.

2.2.4 Additional Benefits: Proposer shall identify any other added value it offers to the LEAGUE OF OREGON CITIES (“LOC”) and Participating Agencies (e.g. convenience cards, individual/member discounts, additional admin fee, etc.)
RESPONSE: In addition to products being offered at best pricing, CBL offers the membership a supplier-partner offering a full suite of Integrated Logistics Support and Services; product specialists who are trained and certified by manufactrurers to provide deployment support in addition to product training in use; care, maintenance and repair; and safety.

2.3 PRICING:

2.3.1 Pricing for the products and services may be based on “ATTACHMENT D” – PRICING SCHEDULE as follows:

A A fixed percentage (%) off marked price based on the Proposer’s catalog or retail store price for each CATEGORY specified in ATTACHMENT D – PRICING SCHEDULE. Proposer shall identify the catalog used.

Option (A) is preferred. If option (A) is not feasible proposer may use option (B) provided Proposer includes a justification.

Proposer may offer additional discounts to the League of Oregon Cities and Participating Agencies based on volume.

If proposers are responding with option “B”, proposers may request price increases based on manufacturer costs, cost of labor and/or materials that must be supported by appropriate documentation. If the League of Oregon Cities agrees to the price modification, the League of Oregon Cities may approve in writing, including electronic mail, without the need for a written amendment to the Master Price Agreement.

RESPONSE:

CBL’s proposed program is based upon offering, by brand, a fixed percentage (%) discount off marked price (Option A). The marked prices are defined within the current Price List/Product Catalog of each of the Company’s Manufacturer (Brand)-Partners identified within the “in Attachment D, Catalog Pricing” section (page 7). #13..
- 335 -

Page 29 of 34 ends

Tools for Heroes since 1929
All catalogs, representing the current version of new and unused products, are identified in the “Current Catalogs” section (refer to page 24 of this proposal).

RESPONSE:

CBL anticipates that future requests will be submitted to the LOC/NPPGov to add products reflecting future product enhancements made by industry or requests for products made by members.

RESPONSE:

CBL’s proposed program includes prices to be considered ceiling prices. To be clear, ceiling prices are the highest prices that will be offered. CBL anticipates that the membership will be offered products contained in this offer at prices reflecting deeper discounts (lower prices) than those proposed within the pricing schedule (beginning on page 7 of this proposal).

It is anticipated that market forces such as competition and the nature of specific sales actions (e.g., volume purchases, repeat customers) will lead to additional discounts being offered by CBL to the membership.

2.3.4 All pricing proposals shall clearly explain how freight and/or delivery costs are determined as described in ATTACHMENT D PRICING SCHEDULE herein.

RESPONSE:

CBL uses Federal Express Freight and UPS for most shipments. Our freight charges are based upon the pricing agreements the Company has with these and other less utilized shipping companies. CBL refers to the published rates or receives freight quotes from our transportation service providers for each order that CBL will collect freight costs.

2.4 TAX: Proposers shall strictly adhere to all federal, state and local tax requirements applicable to their operation, and to any contract or activity resulting from this Solicitation.

RESPONSE:

CBL strictly adheres to all regulations related to federal, state and local tax requirements. #13..

CITY OF MODESTO

COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT
DATE OF MEETING:

May 14, 2024
Date: April 23, 2024
TO: Mayor and City Council
THROUGH: Joseph P. Lopez, City Manager
FROM: Brandon Gillespie, Chief of Police
SUBJECT: CA Assembly Bill No. 481 Annual Military Equipment Report CONTACT: Joseph Bottoms, Lieutenant, [email protected], 209-572-9500 DESCRIPTION:

Consider accepting the Modesto Police Department’s annual Military Equipment Report, approving an Ordinance re-authorizing the department’s Military Equipment Use Policy (Policy 710) and authorizing the purchase of additional equipment that qualifies as “military equipment” in Fiscal Year 2024-2025. (Funding Source: General Fund, Supplemental Law Enforcement Services Fund, Asset Forfeiture Funds, and/or Police Grant Funds) STRATEGIC PLAN ELEMENT:

The recommended action supports the City’s (list year i.e., 2020-2025) Strategic Plan Initiative of improving community safety and promoting trust and transparency with the citizens of Modesto.

BACKGROUND:

On May 9, 2023, by Ordinance No. 3763-C.S., Council approved the Modesto Police Department’s (MPD) Military Equipment Use Policy (MPD Policy 710) per Assembly Bill 481 (AB481).1 Policy 710 requires the Modesto Police Department to submit an annual military equipment report to the City Council. The Modesto Police Department is submitting the annual military equipment report for review to ensure compliance with the Policy and requests City Council consideration to renew the ordinance as required by AB481.

Per AB481, Ordinance No. 3763-C.S., is subject to annual City Council review to determine the standards set forth in the ordinance have been met, based on an annual military equipment report. The City Council may renew the ordinance, disapprove authorization for particular military equipment where standards have not been met, or require modifications to the military equipment use policy to address any non-compliance with standards. Finally, AB481 requires publication of the military equipment use policy and the annual military equipment report on the Department’s website.

City Council, May 14, 2024
CA Assembly Bill No. 481 Annual Military Equipment Report

Page 2 of 5 ends

Within 30 days of submitting and publicly releasing an annual military equipment report pursuant to AB481, the law enforcement agency shall hold at least one well-publicized and conveniently located community engagement meeting, at which the general public may discuss and ask questions regarding the annual military equipment report and the law enforcement agency’s funding, acquisition, or use of military equipment. This meeting will be held on April 30, 2024, from 5-7 p.m. at the Modesto Police Department located at 600 10th Street, Modesto. The meeting will also be streamed live on the Modesto Police Department’s Facebook account.

In addition to maintaining the highest levels of public safety, the Modesto Police Department is committed to transparency, public trust, community partnerships, and compliance with the law.

As such, the Modesto Police Department has authored the Attached 2024 Military Equipment Report in accordance with annual reporting requirements set forth in AB481. This report covers the usage and reporting requirements for the proceeding Calendar year (2023).

DISCUSSION:

There is significant interest in ensuring that law enforcement continues to have access to equipment that will provide peace officers with as many options as possible to safeguard lives, ensure safety, and protect civil liberties. The equipment, resources, and training outlined in the report allow Modesto Police Officers to better protect our community, enhance the safety of the public and officers, and bring critical incidents to a safe resolution.

The Modesto Police Department seeks renewal of the ordinance authorizing MPD’s Military Equipment Use Policy (Policy 710), as per CA Assembly Bil No. 481.This annual report outlines each item identified in Government Code section 70702, that is currently owned by MPD and the City of Modesto.

Modesto Police Department 2024 Military Equipment Use Report 4 Summary:

On September 30, 2021, the Governor of the State of California approved AB-481 requiring law enforcement agencies to obtain approval of the applicable governing body, City Council, by adoption of a military equipment use policy. The Modesto Department was required to seek City Council approval of their military equipment use policy by ordinance at a regular open meeting prior to taking certain actions relating to the funding, acquisition, or use of military equipment, as defined. The bill allows the governing body to approve the funding, acquisition, or use of military equipment within its jurisdiction only if it determines that the military equipment meets specified standards.

The ordinance is subject to annual City Council review to determine whether, based on an annual military equipment report, the standards set forth in the approving ordinance have been met. The City Council may renew the authorizing ordinance, disapprove authorization for particular military equipment where standards have not been met, or require modifications to the military equipment use policy to address any non-compliance with standards. Finally, the bill requires publication of the military equipment use policy and the annual military equipment report on the Department’s website.

AB-481, Section 7072 states the following: (a) A law enforcement agency that receives approval for a military equipment use policy pursuant to Section 7071 shall submit to the governing body an annual military equipment report for each type of military equipment approved by the governing body within one year of approval, and annually thereafter for as long as the military equipment is available for use. The law enforcement agency shall also make each annual military equipment report required by this section publicly available on its internet website for as long as the military equipment is available for use.

Within 30 days of submitting and publicly releasing an annual military equipment report pursuant to this section, the law enforcement agency shall hold at least one wellpublicized and conveniently located community engagement meeting, at which the general public may discuss and ask questions regarding the annual military equipment report and the law enforcement agency’s funding, acquisition, or use of military equipment.

Modesto Police Department 2024 Military Equipment Use Report 6 Introduction:

The Modesto Police Department retains and employs a wide variety of defined military equipment to assist in safely achieving its mission statement of driving the crime rate down and improving the quality of life in the City of Modesto. While the inventory of military equipment is varied, the mere possession of the equipment does not warrant its use for every incident. The Modesto Police Department recognizes that critical incidents are unpredictable and can be very dynamic in nature. A variety of equipment options can greatly assist incident commanders, supervisors, officers, and specific units in bringing those incidents to a swift resolution in a safe manner.

The use of military equipment is restricted for use only in certain instances and in some cases only by certain units. While the military equipment policy is wide-ranging, it is not all inclusive. There may be instances wherein unpredictable critical incidents demand the need for incident commanders to authorize defined military equipment to be used in a manner not outlined within Department policy. In scrutinizing those particular instances, the judgment of the incident commander influenced by the totality of the circumstances, public safety, officer safety, civil rights, and information available at the time will be used.

It is incumbent upon incident commanders, supervisors, individual officers, and specific units to recognize the particular circumstances wherein military equipment should be employed to enhance the safety of the public and officers, and to bring a critical incident to a safe resolution. This Annual Military Equipment Report outlines a summary of military equipment usage guidelines, inventory, fiscal impact, and complaints for 2023. #14..

CITY OF MODESTO

COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT
DATE OF MEETING:

May 14, 2024
Date: April 22, 2024
TO: Mayor and City Council
THROUGH: Joseph P. Lopez, City Manager
FROM: Bill Sandhu, Director of Public Works
SUBJECT: Second Amendment to the Agreement with Clark Pest Control CONTACT: Gabe DaSilva, Facilities Manager, [email protected], 209-652-2579 DESCRIPTION:

Consider approving the Second Amendment for the city-wide pest control services to a revised total amount of $393,410 and extending the term of the Agreement from April 30, 2024, to April 30, 2026. (Funding Source: Building Maintenance ISF)
STRATEGIC PLAN ELEMENT:

This action supports the 2020-2025 City of Modesto Strategic Plan Area of Focus: Service Delivery Goals and Strategies; “Build community trust in City government through responsive, transparent and efficient service delivery.”; Goal H: “Achieve long-term financial sustainability.” BACKGROUND:

Pest control services are provided at City owned facilities, structures, and other property at varying frequencies and service levels. It is expected that all pest management on City property will adhere to industry best practices, reduce or eliminate pesticide applications to the maximum extent feasible, and include all reasonable measures to protect human and environmental health. Use of a city-wide agreement to provide pest control services takes advantage of “economies of scale” and reduces the overall cost to the City for this service.

On March 6, 2018, the Stanislaus County General Services Agency (GSA) posted an invitation for Bids #18-16-CB for Countywide Pest Control Services. The bid was sent to 27 vendors, resulting in 13 downloads of the bid documents. When bidding closed, GSA had received three responsive and responsible bids from pest control firms. After review, Clark Pest Control, Inc. (“Clark”) of Modesto, CA was determined to be the lowest-priced responsible and responsive bidder, and on July 31, 2018, the Board of Supervisors of Stanislaus County approved the Master Agreement with Clark Pest Control, Inc. No. 2018-0388, for countywide pest control services.

On May 14, 2019, by Resolution 2019-230, Council authorized the agreement with Clark Pest Control Inc., Modesto, CA, by utilizing the competitive process with Stanislaus County General Services Agency, for the purchase of city-wide pest control services, for a five-year agreement #15..
