Body
BACKGROUND
This will allow for the purchase of four Polaris Ranger XP1000 utility terrain vehicles (UTV) which will provide the Patrol Bureau with advanced capabilities to respond to critical incidents for which a normal squad car or traditional vehicle would not perform as well.
The UTVs will be used in patrolling and responding to incidences which may require an emergency response in areas of the community that are difficult to access with typical police vehicles. This will allow for a greater ability to deter crime and promote community safety in these areas by being able to provide visible patrol and enforcement of the city ordinances and state laws.
The OMNIA Partners cooperative agreement is authorized by Chapter 791 of the Texas Government Code and Subchapter F, Chapter 271, Texas Local Government Code. Section 271.102 of the Texas Local Government Code which authorizes a local government to participate in a Cooperative Purchasing Program with another local government or a local cooperative organization.
PRIOR ACTION/REVIEW (COUNCIL, BOARDS, COMMISSIONS)
The Public Safety Committee will be briefed by memorandum regarding this matter on February 10, 2024.
