ADMINISTRATIVE SERVICES DEPARTMENT
MEETINGDATE: October 29, 2020
PREPARED BY: Stephen Y. Aryan, Risk Manager
REQUEST: Approve an updated public safety vendors list for equipment
repairs, equipment purchases, and specialty services utilized by the
Palm Desert Police and Fire Departments in FY 2020121.
Recommendation
By Minute Motion,
1. Approve and authorize staff to use the updated vendors on the Palm
Desert Public Safety Vendors List appended to this report; and
2. Approve an exception to purchasing requirements as provided by Section
3.30,160(C)(D)(H)(K) of the Palm Desert Municipal Code for Fiscal Year
2020/21.
Commission Action
The Palm Desert Public Safety Commission reviewed this matter on October 14, 2020,
and recommend the City Council approve this matter as recommended.
Strategic Plan Obiective
This item relates to the Public Safety and Emergency Services section of the Palm
Desert Strategic Plan, specifically under Priority 1: Enhance the delivery of,vublic safety
services. The priority's strategy is to expand the existing superlative services provided
by the fire and police departments to address future growth and safety concerns, By
providing access to the needed vendors and services indicated within this report, the
Police and Fire Departments can effectively carry out their missions.
Backaround
The Palm Desert Municipal Code allows staff to expedite purchases by preparing a list
of authorized vendors for specialty equipment and services. Many of the purchases are
for repairs of equipment and specialty services critical for providing life/safety operations
where obtaining price quotes is unfeasible (e.g. trauma scene clean-up/restoration,
blood draws, sexual assault examinations, chemical laboratory testing services, and
Traffic Team equipment calibration).
