CITY ATTORNEY’S OFFICE
OAKLAND CITY COUNCIL
RESOLUTION NO. C.M.S.
RE
SOLUTION 1) AUTHORIZING THE CITY ADMINISTRATOR TO
ENTER INTO A PROFESSIONAL SERVICES AGREEMENT WITH THE
CONCORD POLICE OFFICERS ASSOCIATION (CPA) FOR THE USE OF
THE CPA FIREARMS RANGE BY THE OAKLAND POLICE
DEPARTMENT (OPD), IN AN AMOUNT NOT TO EXCEED TWO
HUNDRED FIFTY THOUSAND DOLLARS ($250,000) PER YEAR FOR
THE TIME PERIOD JULY 1, 2025, TO JUNE 30, 2030; AND 2) WAIVING
THE COMPETITIVE REQUEST FOR PROPOSAL/QUALIFICATIONS
(RFP/Q), AND THE LOCAL/SMALL LOCAL BUSINESS ENTERPRISE
PROGRAM REQUIREMENTS
W
HEREAS, the California Commission on Peace Officer Standards and Testing (POST) requires that police officers train in the use of firearms each year to maintain otherwise- perishable firearms skills; and
WHEREAS, police officer trainees in police training academies must also have access to firearms practice as part of POST requirements; and
W
HEREAS, OPD does not own its own firearms range and thus must find other law enforcement firearms ranges to supply facilities for all required training purposes; and WHEREAS, OPD presently uses both the Concord Police Officer Association (CPA) Range, located at 5060 Avila Road in Concord, and the Contra Costa Office of the Sheriff (CCOF) Fire Range to ensure that sworn personnel have access to the firearm, and WHEREAS, OPD relies on the CPA Range in particular for police officer trainee academy and other ongoing required annual firearms training; and W
HEREAS, OPD has historically been able to use Cooperative Agreements established by local cities to contract with CPA for use of its gun range municipalities; and W
HEREAS, Article V, Section 504(l) of the Oakland City Charter requires that the City Council approve all intergovernmental relationships and contracts; and W
HEREAS, Section 2.04.051(B) of the Oakland Municipal Code (OMC) authorizes the City Council to waive the competitive RFP/Q selection requirements of OMC section 2 2.04.051(A) upon a finding that it is in the best interests of the City to do so; and W
HEREAS, the City Council may waive the City’s Local/Small Local Business Enterprise Program (L/SLBE) requirements pursuant to Part I of Oakland’s L/SLBE Program guidelines (Ordinance NO. 13647 C.M.S.); and
W
HEREAS, it is in the best interests of the City to waive the L/SLBE and RFP/Q requirements because OPD cannot produce police officer training academies without the use of the CPA Firearms Range, as California POST requires a minimal number of live-fire trainings for both academy and in- service personnel, and because OPD must also train trainees to understand and learn numerous OPD-specific policies and standards that would not be taught during other law enforcement academies; and
W
HEREAS, the funds will be available through General Purpose Fund (1010), Organization (103430) - Training Unit, Account (53211) - Rental: Land and Building, Project (1000008) - DP1000 Administrative Project, PS09 – Police Training; and W
HEREAS, the City Council hereby finds that this agreement is for services that are professional, scientific or technical and temporary in nature, and that this Agreement will not result in the loss of employment or salary by any person having permanent status in the competitive service; now, therefore be it
RE
SOLVED: That the City Administrator is authorized to enter into a professional services agreement with the Concord Police Officers Association (CPA) for the use of the CPA Firearms Range by the Oakland Police Department (OPD), in an amount not to exceed two hundred fifty thousand dollars ($250,000) per year for the time period July 1, 2025, to June 30, 2030; and RESOLVED: That the City Administrator is authorized to waive the competitive request for proposal/qualifications (RFP/Q) and the Local/Small/Local Business Enterprise Program requirements; and be it
F
URTHER RESOLVED: That for the reasons stated above and, in the report, accompanying this Resolution, the City Council hereby finds and determines that it is in the best interests of the City to waive L/SLBE and RFP/Q requirements, pursuant to Oakland Municipal Code section 2.04.051(B) and Part I of Oakland’s Local and Small Local Business Enterprise program guidelines adopted by Ordinance No. 13647 C.M.S. 3 FURTHER RESOLVED: That the City Administrator or designee is authorized to complete all required negotiations, certifications, assurances, and documentation required to execute, modify, extend and/or amend an agreement with the Concord Police Officer Association (CPA) for the use of their firing range and a separate agreement for the use of the CPA Live Fire Shoot House by OPD personnel; and be it
