Explanation

BACKGROUND: The Division of Fire has been awarded a grant from the Department of Homeland Security to purchase Radiological Detection and Bomb Disposal Products and Training for the Bomb Squad. The total cost of the equipment and training will be $100,000.00. The payment will be issued by Franklin County, on behalf of the Department of Homeland Security and Ohio Emergency Management Agency. The City of Columbus and Franklin County entered into an Intergovernmental Agreement via Ordinance 1691-2006, passed October 18, 2006, to enable this type of purchase.

This legislation will authorize and direct the Director of Finance and Management to execute those documents necessary for the acquisition of this equipment and training.

Bid Information: The Division of Fire applied for and was approved for a State Homeland Security Grant to purchase Radiological Detection and Bomb Disposal Products and Training for the Bomb Squad.

This proprietary, unique equipment and training is the only of its kind approved for grant funding by the Department of Homeland Security.

This specialized and proprietary equipment and training is unique and offered only by W L Bar, LLC. All training that is funded through US Homeland Security training grants must be approved by the United States Homeland Security Office of Domestic Preparedness to be eligible for funding....
