The Director of the Mayor’s Office of Public Safety and Homeland Security and the Chief Procurement Officer recommend that City Council approve the purchase of SAFE Boat refurbishment services for the Houston Police Department from sole source supplier, SAFE Boat International, LLC., in the amount of $293,946.70.
