Grant Budget Reduction
Submitted for:	Martin Cuellar	Submitted By:	Anita Guerra
Department:	Sheriff

Subject:

Discussion and possible action to approve a no-cost budget adjustment to reduce the amount of grant funds by $54,188.52 in the budget line item specific to the acquisition of GH Hard Armor vests from $170,950 to $116,761.48 for the purchase of said hard armor; and any other matters incident thereto. During the procurement process, a vendor provided through a cooperative agreement a total quote that reduced the unit cost of the 263 hard armor vests from the originally estimated amount of $650 per vest kit to an actual quote of $443.96 per vest kit. The state agency has already ruled that the remaining grant funds be de-obligated since these extra, remaining $54,188.52 funds cannot be used to purchase additional body armor. The grant funds to be utilized for the purchase of said hard armor kits will be reimbursed by the state agency as the vast majority of grants awarded to Webb County are solely on a reimbursement basis. These are grant funds; and, thus, there is no impact on general fund. All required documents were sent for review through the Economic Development Department and the solicitation is compliant with the Webb County Single Point of Contact (SPOC) procedures.
