Board awards bid and authorizes sheriff to buy CERT tactical helmets from lowest bidder
Summary
The board accepted bids to replace expired tactical helmets for the Webster County Sheriff's CERT team and authorized Sheriff Luke Fleener to purchase from the lowest bidder, Colorado Gunfighter, after confirming the vendor's equipment met specifications.
Webster County accepted competitive bids on July 29 to replace the county sheriff's expired CERT (CERTactical) helmets and authorized Sheriff Luke Fleener to purchase the helmets from the lowest responsive bidder. The county opened bids for replacement helmets and received proposals from Colorado Gunfighter ($15,106.54), METS Tactical LLC ($29,500.80) and Western Slope MFG ($24,988.28). After a board motion to accept the bids, the board later authorized the sheriff to purchase helmets from Colorado Gunfighter, the lowest bid. A supervisor said the sheriff’s office had checked with the chief deputy and confirmed the Colorado Gunfighter helmets included updated communications capability and were an upgrade from current equipment. Supervisors approved both accepting the bids and authorizing the sheriff to proceed with the purchase by recorded vote; no public opposition appeared in the record. The board did not discuss financing details at length; the action reflects routine procurement for public-safety equipment.
