Title
Purchase of One Replacement Gas Chromatograph/Mass Spectrometer for the Police Department (Citywide)
Forensic Services currently leases one Gas Chromatograph/Mass Spectrometer manufactured by Agilent Technologies and the laboratory is interested in purchasing a replacement for the leased unit. The Agilent instrument has been specified due to its ability to provide the capacity for a full range of testing related to evidence that may contain a controlled substance or prescription drug and laboratory analysts are already familiar with the software platform for this unit. Upon delivery and validation of the new unit, the leased unit will be returned.
The Police Department and Purchasing recommend awarding the contract to the lowest, responsive and responsible bidder, Agilent Technologies, Inc., at $121,570.34.
