Summary

The commission opened bids for ballistic helmets for county law enforcement; vendor names and dollar figures were read into the record but the transcript contains inconsistencies in quantities and some amounts, which the county said sheriff/administration staff will verify.

The commission opened bids for ballistic helmets during the meeting. The clerk read vendor names and amounts into the record; CIE Defense LLC was listed with a figure of $24,350 and Baselink (Baselink Industrial/Armor) of Santa Ana, California was also listed with an amount. The clerk and commissioners discussed quantities (40, 50 or 60 helmets) and unit counts, but the record contains inconsistencies on exact counts tied to each vendor.

The presiding officer said sheriff and administrative staff will review the bids and ensure everything is in order before moving to award. No award or final action occurred during the segment presented.

Because some numeric details and vendor‑quantity pairings are unclear in the transcript excerpt, readers should consult the county's posted bid tabulation for the official procurement record and award recommendation.
