DATE: January 5, 2021
SUBJECT
Consider adoption of an ordinance of the City of Denton, a Texas home-rule municipal corporation,
authorizing the City Manager, or his designee, to utilize a contract with Angel Armor, LLC, through the
City of Grand Prairie Contract Number #19112, for the purchase of ballistic vests for the Denton Police
Department; providing for the expenditure of funds therefor; and providing an effective date (File 7570 –
awarded to Angel Armor, LLC, in the not-to-exceed amount of $254,800.00).
INFORMATION/BACKGROUND
The Denton Police Department places a high priority on ensuring officer safety. Ballistic vests are an
essential component of an officer’s safety while they are on duty. It is also important for the vests to be
comfortable and durable to withstand extended periods of wear, in a variety of temperature conditions. The
proposed vendor, Angel Armor, provides light-weight rifle resistant vests and plates which can be worn for
the duration of a shift. Angel Armor’s one body armor solution, with pistol and rifle rated ballistic
protection, further eliminates the need for officers to store additional protective gear in their vehicles.
This request will cover vests that will be issued as replacements annually on an as-needed basis in addition
to the purchase for new hires. City staff estimates annual expenditures to be approximately $63,700 and
funding is provided from the Police Department operating budget. The chart below is the projected spend
for this contract.
