2.
Award a contract for the purchase of S.W.A.T. equipment in the
amount of $7,478.93 to James Wright, the lowest responsive bidder,
with a trade-in credit of $7,650 for 106 weapons, for a difference
of $171.07 due to the City.
DISCUSSION
The Police Department's Special Weapons and Tactics (S.W.A.T.) team is
charged with the responsibility of resolving high-risk assignments.
On-call 24 hours per day, the variety of possible scenarios
necessitates various specialty equipment. The purchase of the S.W.A.T.
equipment includes a ballistic shield to provide an officer added
coverage and protection, shotguns, and weapon lights for the shotguns
to help illuminate potential suspects.
To offset costs, James Wright allows jurisdictions to offer trade-ins.
As such, the Police Department will trade in 106 confiscated weapons,
with the specific provision that they be sold only to sworn police
officers, governmental agencies, or law enforcement departments, and
not to the general public.
The notice inviting bids was advertised on June 30 and July 2, 2004 and
bids were solicited. A summary of the bid invitations and bids
received is as follows:
