Police
SUMMARY:
The Edgewater Police Department is seeking City Council approval to enter into a 5-year agreement with Axon Enterprises to purchase 40 Taser 10s. The Taser 10 replaces are existing Taser X26P’s which were first issued in 2013. The agreement includes a 5-year warranty, cartridge replacement, and training. The first year is $37,964.06 and was approved in the FY24-25 budget. Years 2-5 are in order $36,310.63, $37,763.06, $39,273.58, $40,884.52 for a total cost of $192,155.85.
Per the purchasing policy, “Where standardization is determined to be desirable by the Finance Director, the purchase of materials, supplies and equipment and certain contractual services may be made by negotiation.
Compatibility to existing equipment will be an acceptable justification for waiver of bidding procedures provided the item meets the other criteria within the definition of sole source item (i.e.; available from only one source and only item that will produce the desired results).”
