Explanation

BACKGROUND: For the option to purchase Canines & Canine/Handler Training for the Police Division. Both the Canines themselves and the training for the canines and handlers are purchased for the Police Canine Unit through this contract. The term of the proposed option contract would be three (3) years, with the option to extend the contract for two additional one-year periods, subject to mutual agreement. The Contract is through November 30, 2012. The Purchasing Office opened formal bids on September 3, 2009.

The Purchasing Office advertised and solicited competitive bids in accordance with Section 329.06, Solicitation SA003349. Twenty-five (25) bids were solicited (F1: 1). One (1) bid was received.

The Purchasing Office is recommending award of the contract to the lowest, responsive, responsible and best bidder:

Daniel J. Bowman dba Gold Shield Canine Training, Ltd., CC#311759733 (Expires November 6, 2009), $1.00, All items.
Total Estimated Annual Expenditure: $50,000.00

This company is not debarred according to the Federal Excluded Parties Listing or the State Auditor's Findings For Recovery Database.

This ordinance is being submitted as an emergency because, without emergency action, no less than 37 days will be added to this procurement cycle and the efficient delivery of valuable public services will be slowed.

FISCAL IMPACT: Funding to establish this option contract is budgeted in the Mail, Print Services and UTC Fund. The Police Division will be required to obtain approval to expend from their own appropriations for their estimated annual expenditures.
