Body
The Police Department has determined a need to purchase a modular tactical house simulation system to be used by the Training unit.
The Police Department evaluated equipment from multiple vendors and concluded that the specific equipment from Action Target is the equipment that best fits their needs.
This equipment provides the Police Department with essential Public Safety training capabilities as a non-ballistic training tool for adaptive urban assault, building search and clearing as well as force-on-force training. Designed for use with simulated ammunition rounds, marking cartridges, or blanks.
The TAC House system was invented by Action Target and has been patented/copyrighted accordingly. At this time, Action Target products are only offered direct from the factory and not available through any other distributors. The cost to acquire this equipment is $82,800.00.
Under Section 2-689 of the Procurement Code, entitled “Sole Source Procurement,” an award may be made without competitive bids when there is only one source available to fulfill the needs of the City.
