Award a contract for the purchase of S.W.A.T. equipment in the amount
of $18,080.45 to James F. Wright with a trade-in credit of $18,005 for
221 weapons, for a difference of $75.45 due by 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 2 shotguns, tactical drag bags for shotguns, and
updated weapon accessories for existing shotguns to best safeguard the
officers and to protect the community.
James Wright allows jurisdictions to offer trade-ins to offset the
cost. As such, 221 confiscated weapons are being traded-in with the
specific proviso that they are 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 29 and July I, 2005 and
