Explanation

BACKGROUND: The Division of Police Crime Lab needs to purchase a 3130 Genetic Analyzer for the Police Crime Laboratory. The 3130 is a multi-capillary system (versus the 310 which is a single capillary system) capable of analyzing four samples at the same time. This equipment will cut down on analysis time.

Bid Information: The Division of Police, Crime Lab purchased a 310 Genetic Analyzer in 2005, (Ord. 1674-2005). The Division of Police will receive a trade-in credit of $15,000.00 for this equipment. The total purchase price including the trade-in will be $70,923.00. (The trade-in equipment has been advertised via the Purchasing Office and there were no interested parties.) Applied Biosystems is the only source of the automated capillary electrophoresis genetic analyzer system validated for human identification. The Division of Police is requesting the Finance and Management Director award a purchase order in accordance with the sole source procurement of Columbus City Codes Chapter 329.

Contract Compliance No.: Applera Corporation/Applied Biosystems, 06-1534213, expires 03/31/2010

Emergency Designation: Emergency legislation is requested because this equipment is to be used to provide quicker DNA information for court cases.

FISCAL IMPACT: This ordinance authorizes an expenditure of $70,923.00 from the General Government Grant fund for the purchase of a 3130 Genetic Analyzer for the Police Crime Lab. There is no impact on the General Fund since the purchase is funded by the 2007 DNA Backlog Reduction Grant funds.
