Body
SUMMARY & BACKGROUND:
This ordinance authorizes the expenditure of $43,487.13 from the 2023 general fund to replace aging shotguns. Bids were solicited on Planet Bids and Vance Outdoors, Inc. was the only bidder for 124 shotguns along with a trade-in credit for the old shotguns bringing the total net bid to $183,665.84. In addition, we received a grant from the United States Department of Justice/ Bureau of Justice Assistance/Edward Byrne Memorial Justice Assistance Grant Program for $140,178.71 for this purchase. Toledo City Council approved the use of these grant funds for the purchase of shotguns with ordinance 669-22.
