Purchase of a Digital Imaging System for Shoe/Tire Impression Evidence for the Police Department (Sole Source) (Citywide)
The Police Department has an investigative need for the re-establishment of a footwear/tire comparative sub-discipline, due to the number of crimes and the amount of footwear/tire impression evidence being collected at crime scenes, as well as the "real-time" status of several disciplines. The instrument will streamline the preservation of gel lifted impression evidence, reduce the number of photographs being stored, save time in both the collecting and processing of evidence, and produce higher quality comparative images for timely analyses.
The Police Department and Purchasing recommend awarding the contract to the sole source vendor, BVDA America, Inc., at $74,324.45. This purchase is funded by Crime Lab Assessment Funds and the Police Department operating budget.
