Explanation

TO THE HONORABLE MEMBERS OF CITY COUNCIL:

The Franklin County Municipal Court Judges originally purchased security equipment in 1997 for the first and sixth floor lobbies, 375 S. High Street. We have maintained this same basic equipment since 1997 with the exception of the purchase of one X-ray machine and one Magnetometer/Metal Detector in 2003. The court desires to engage in a three-year ( $1.00 Buyout) lease for new equipment which consists of three X-ray machines, and six Magnetometers/Metal Detectors, with the original provider and maintainer of the present equipment, L-3 Communications. This annual expenditure of $56,836.20 for the next three years, would come from the Municipal Court Special Revenue Fund, Fund No. 226.

The Franklin County Municipal Court Judges desire to lease this needed equipment from L-3 Communications--Security & Detection Systems ( formerly Perkin Elmer Detection Systems, and formerly EG & G Astrophysics, Inc., original supplying vendor in 1997), through Ohio State Schedule Index #STS-846, Schedule #776846E, (expires July 31, 2006). This vendor is the original manufacturer of all current security equipment located at the Municipal Court Building, 375 S. High Street,, and also provides all in-house maintenance of said equipment. Franklin County Public Facilities Management also contracts and maintains security equipment from L-3 Communications located directly next door at the Franklin County Courthouse, 373 S. High Street, and the Hall of Justice Building, 369 S. High Street. The Court advocates utilization of the same vendor, and use of identical security equipment because of obvious emergency service/maintenance advantages, and the potential temporary borrowing of identical back-up X-ray and Magnetometer/Metal Detector units.
