TITLE
Recommendation to adopt Specifications No. PA-01510 to award a contract to Professional Police Supply Inc., dba Adamson Industries of Los Alamitos, CA (not an MBE, WBE, SBE or Local), in an annual amount not to exceed $280,000 for furnishing and delivering emergency vehicle auxiliary equipment and related supplies, for the period of one year, with the option to renew for two additional one-year periods, at the discretion of the City Manager.

This contract is to provide auxiliary equipment such as light bars, shotgun racks, sirens, prisoner containment units and backseat assembles.
