Purchase of a Bomb Robot (Replacement) for the Police Department (Sole Source) (Citywide)
This purchase will provide an updated bomb robot and includes trading in two obsolete bomb robots toward the purchase. There are a variety of bomb robots; however, each manufacturer is exclusive in the sale of only the brand they manufacture. The ICOR robot is utilized by the Bomb Response Teams throughout the Valley. Having similar equipment is imperative, because the teams work closely together on large call-outs, special events, and emergencies. The ICOR is the only bomb robot that is interoperable between agencies.
The Police Department and Purchasing recommend awarding the contract to the sole source vendor, ICOR Technology Inc., at $49,242.34. This purchase is grant funded by the Arizona Department of Homeland Security.
