Title
Purchase of Surveillance Equipment - Grant Purchase
History
On 12/28/11, the department was awarded a grant of $12,500.00 through the Treasury Executive Office of Asset Forfeiture and the U.S. Secret Service. We have recently been directed to utilize the grant no later than 4/1/12.
We are requesting to purchase a covert network video surveillance system and electric box enclosure at a price not to exceed $11,000.00 from Crime Point located in Camarillo, California for our investigations division. We are requesting to waive the bidding process due to the custom nature of the equipment.
Financial Impact
The village will be reimbursed for the purchase of these items through the U.S. Secret Service grant (copy attached). A budget adjustment to the Police Department's Machinery & Equipment budget line item is required in the amount of $11,000.00 to fund this purchase. A budget adjustment to the appropriate revenue line item is also required.
Recommended Action/Motion
I move to approve waiving the bidding process and approve the purchase of a covert network video surveillance system and electric box enclosure at a price not to exceed $11,000.00 from Crime Point located in Camarillo, California;
And
