Purchase of a Refurbished Gas Chromatograph/Mass Spectrometer for Fire Debris Analysis for the Police Department (Single Bid) (Citywide)
Mesa Police Department's Forensic Services Division does not currently provide service for arson/fire debris analysis; rather, it is outsourced to the Arizona Department of Public Safety and the turn-around time is four to six months. Purchasing this refurbished equipment will add the sub-discipline of fire debris analysis to the laboratory, as well as provide a dedicated instrument for fire debris analysis will protect against possible contamination and avoid accreditation and availability issues.
The Police Department and Purchasing recommend awarding the contract to the single responsive and responsible bidder, Agilent Technologies, Inc., at $68,607.82. This purchase is funded by Crime Lab Assessment Funds.
