Board of Public Works awards 2025 police squad outfitting contract to Belco Vehicle Solutions
Summary
The Board of Public Works recommended awarding the 2025 police squad outfitting contract to Belco Vehicle Solutions after finding the competing bidder did not meet specifications for in-house lettering and graphics; the board approved a $158,273.64 award.
The Board of Public Works on Aug. 12 recommended awarding the 2025 police squad outfitting contract to Belco Vehicle Solutions and approved payment in the amount of $158,273.64. The board made the decision after staff reported that the other responsive bidder, Gencom, did not meet the specification for in-house lettering and graphics.
Saul, a staff member who reviewed the bids, told the board two vendors submitted proposals out of nine contacted and that Gencom could not provide graphics and in-house lettering, meaning those services would need to be sublet and their cost was not included in Gencom's estimate. Saul said Belco Vehicle Solutions met the total specifications.
The board moved and seconded a motion to approve the award to Belco Vehicle Solutions for $158,273.64; the motion carried on an affirmative voice vote.
The board record does not specify any additional contract conditions, timelines for delivery, or warranties. No other speakers raised questions during the public discussion on this item, and the transcript does not record further detail about the lettering or graphics subcontract pricing.
