Title
A Resolution to Move Forward with a Capital Purchase Related to the Byrne Discretionary Community Project Grant
Summary
The capital purchases for the Byrne Discretionary Community Project Grant were previously approved under 24-1411-RES. After acceptance of the award, one of the capital purchases (NIBENS Brash Tax) that was previously approved to be purchased for $225,560 was reduced due to the matchpoint analysis station no longer being required. The Police Department is now coordinating with ATF to have our entries correlated at a regional and national scale which would make matchpoint redundant. The elimination of the matchpoint analysis drops the price from $225,560 to $93,384.00. After slight variations in costs for the other capital purchases, there was $121,526.99 remaining to be spent with the grant funding. A grant modification was submitted to DOJ and the Meridian Rapid Defense Barrier System was approved to purchase through the grant. The total cost of the purchase is $137,925.18 with $121,526.99 being funded directly through the grant. The additional $16,398.19 needed for the purchase is already available within the police's capital purchase budget with no budget adjustment required. The police department requests to move forward with the purchase of the Meridian Rapid Defense Barrier System through the GSA contract #47QSWA19D001F not to exceed $137,926.00.
