The Orange County Sheriff's Department has received funding from four different grants to <br />purchase equipment such as this. <br />2008 COPS Tech (SPEX) - BOCC approved February 3, 2009 <br />2009 COPS Tech - BOCC approved October 20, 2009 <br />2009 JAG #1 - BOCC approved August 18, 2009 <br />2009 JAG #2 - BOCC approved October 20, 2009 <br />Note: COPS stands for "Community Oriented Policing Services" and JAG stands for "Justice Assistance Grant". <br />Letters confirming award of the grant funding is attached. <br />The statute that authorizes "piggy-back" bids requires that the entity advertise its intentions ten <br />(10) days prior to a meeting in which the matter is to be considered. Orange County has <br />fulfilled that requirement. <br />FINANCIAL IMPACT: Total purchase price, if approved by the Board, would be $295,700. As <br />noted above, the entire purchase is funded with grants. There is no requirement for matching <br />funds; therefore no County funds will be needed for the purchase. No additional Board action <br />regarding the grant project ordinance for this project is necessary at this time as the Board <br />previously approved the ordinances in conjunction with acceptance of these grants. <br />RECOMMENDATION(S): The Manager recommends that the Board: <br />1) Award a bid for fifty (50) In-Car Video Camera Systems and Accessories for the <br />Sheriff's Department at a total cost of $295,700 to COBAN Technologies, Inc. of <br />Stafford, Texas; <br />2) Authorize the Manager to sign the Interlocal Contract for Cooperative Purchasing; <br />and <br />3) Authorize the AMPS Director to effect the purchase. <br />
