CITY OF SAIl BERNARDINO - REQUEST FOR COUNCIL ACTION
Stldf Report
Subject:
Resolution of the Mayor and Common Council of the City of San Bernardino authorizing the
award of an annual purchase order for police vehicle safety lighting and siren equipment to
Federal Signal Corp of University Park, IL.
Background:
Police vehicle safety lighting and siren equipment purchase and installation overview falls under
the County's maintenance agreement for City's 800MHz group. Safety lighting and siren
equipment used by the San Bernardino Police Department is manufactured by Federal Signal
Corporation of University Park, Illinois. Federal Signal products are used because of their long
term (5 year) warranty and because the County 800 MHz Group is a licensed Federal Signal
warranty service center.
A standard safety kit for each patrol unit includes a roof-mounted LED light bar, emergency
comer strobe lights, mirror mounted LED warning lights, a siren with its computerized
controller, and other essential small components. One kit is purchased for each new patrol unit
that will be cycled in to the patrol fleet each year.
This year the Police Department is purchasing 29 new patrol vehicles, but only 9 new LED light
bars are being purchased. Existing/used light bars will be installed on the remaining 20 patrol
vehicles. These 20 existing/used light bars will be repaired with purchased replacement parts.
Financial Impact:
The annual cost for the safety lighting and siren equipment kits for fiscal year 2008/2009 is
$82,179 and is budgeted under account #679-252-5702. Similar to previous years, this cost is
included in IT FY 08/09 and chargebacks for Police. Itis a decrease from the previous year due
to fewer cars being purchased.
Recommendation:
Adopt resolution.
