Three-Year Term Contract for Police Service Dogs for the K9 Unit (Single Proposal) (Citywide)
The Police Department's K9 Unit currently has thirteen active Police Service dogs. These canines are used for both patrol and detection (e.g. explosives, narcotics, etc.) purposes. The dogs are acquired when they are two to four years old and should be able to serve for a five to seven-year period. The K9 Unit expects to acquire one to two dogs per year.
An evaluation committee representing the Police Department and Purchasing evaluated responses, and recommends awarding the contract to the qualified, single proposal from Adlerhorst International, Inc., at $30,413.00 annually, based on estimated requirements.
