Title
Annual Purchase of Ammunition
History
The department annually purchases ammunition through the State of Illinois Purchasing Contract. Our two largest purchases are for .40 caliber ammunition for our pistols and 5.56 mm ammunition for our patrol rifle carbines.
To avoid a dramatic price increase as the result of increased military and civilian purchases that go into effect on February 6th; we are requesting to purchase our ammunition as soon as possible while supplies last.
Financial Impact
$10,000.00 is budgeted for ammunition for the police department under line item 010-7002-464500
Recommended Action/Motion
I move to approve the purchase of ammunition from Ray O'Herron Co. off the State of Illinois Purchasing Contract for 21 cases of Winchester 180 gr., .40 caliber ammunition and 17 cases of Winchester 55 gr., 5.56mm ammunition at a price not to exceed $9,933.00
