Summary: |
|||
|
This item is presented in conjunction with the request to Ratify the Rapid City Police Department’s Acceptance of the 2016 Fiscal Year Highway Safety Grant. The Rapid City Police Department applied for and was awarded the 2016 Fiscal Year Highway Safety Grant. The grant objectives are to decrease the number of injuries that result from automobile accidents through additional enforcement of speeding, occupant protection and impaired driving. The grant will provide matching funds for equipment and enforcement overtime. The Council is being asked to authorize the Chief to sign all necessary documents to acquire the cameras because the purchase requires the Police Department to expend funds in excess of the contracting authority under Rapid City Municipal Code 3.04.090. It should be noted that this purchase is exempt from the bid requirements of SDCL chapters 5-18A through 5-18D pursuant to SDCL 5-18A-22 (5), which the relevant part reads as follows: “The provisions of this chapter and chapters 5-18B, 5-18C, and 5-18D do not apply to:…(5) Any procurement of…communications technologies, computer hardware and software, peripheral equipment, and related connectivity…” |
