Police, Communications and Purchasing recommend awarding the contract to the lowest, responsive and responsible bidder, Phoenix Heliparts (a Mesa business), at $224,800.70. This purchase is funded by Homeland Security Grant Fund ($179,528.00) and by the Police Department operating budget ($45,272.70).
