Agenda Title: |
|||
|
Ratify the Rapid City Police Department’s Acceptance of a 2014 Highway Safety Grant. |
|||
|
Summary: |
|||
|
This item is presented in conjunction with the request to Authorize the Chief of Police to Sign all Necessary Documents to Purchase Seven Flashback 3 Digital Video Systems from L3 Mobile-Vision, Inc . Last year, the Police Department applied for and was awarded a 2014 Highway Safety Grant. The identified objective of the grant is to decrease the number of alcohol related crashes through increased DUI enforcement. In order to achieve that objective, the Police Department needs to purchase additional L-3 in-car video systems. The grant provides partial funding to make that purchase. The Council is being asked to ratify because acceptance of the grant 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 the purchase of the cameras is exempt from the bid requirements of SDCL chapters 5-18A through 5-18D pursuant to SDCL § 5-18A-22 (5), which in 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 . . . .” |

The funding source is the Police Department Budget, account number 0201. City cost for the purchase is $31,290.00; grant funding for the purchase is $6,125.00; total cost for the purchase is $37,415.00. |
