BACKGROUND:
Invitation To Bid No. 85-95/96 was advertised on April 18, 1996, with an opening date of May 16,
1996. Thirty-one notices and eight specification packages were mailed. Seven replies were received,
one of which was a "no bid" response..
The bids received range from $597.27 each to $727.00 each. (Bid Tabulation attached)
In October 1995, the Police Department advised Sig-Sauer that weapons that were purchased in
1990, were starting to rust. Sig-Sauer offered to refinish all of our guns with a new finish called K-
Coat at no charge to the City, and also advised that they would loan us 50 guns to accomplish this
task so that we could ship them 50 weapons at a time. In December 1995, 50 new weapons (loaners)
were mailed to the Police Department. The Police Department has refinished about 250 weapons
at this time, and have about 130 more to be done.
The Police Department has expanded its personnel to another fifty Officers and weapons for these
Officers are needed, which justified the above subject bid.
