Explanation

BACKGROUND: For the option to purchase DNA Crime Lab Supplies for the Division of Police. The term of the proposed option contract would be through September 30, 2007 with an extension available through September 30, 2008.

The Purchasing Office negotiated with the sole provider, Applied BioSystems Group of Applera Corporation, in accordance with Section 329.07(e). and Solicitation No. SA001296. Pricing received is acceptable to the Purchasing Office. One (MAJ:1) bid was solicited; one (MAJ:1) bid received.

The Purchasing Office is recommending award of a contract to Applied BioSystems Group of Applera Corporation. No reagents or parts other than those sold by this company, the patent owner for the PCR kits required for DNA testing, are authorized for use in the Police Crime Lab's equipment. The estimated annual expenditure for this contract is $150,000.00.

The company's contract compliance number is 06-1534213. This company is not listed in the Auditor of State Database for Unresolved Findings for Recovery or the Federal Government Excluded Parties Listing.

This ordinance is being submitted as an emergency because, without emergency action, no less than thirty-seven 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 Purchasing Contract Account. The Division of Police will be required to obtain approval to expend from their own appropriations for their estimated annual expenditure.
