and the prevention and response to disturbances or acts of violence such as  
vehicle-based attacks. Acquiring specialized safety barriers will help reduce  
or potentially eliminate the need to rely on school buses, police vehicles, and  
cumbersome concrete blocks, which are difficult to position and relocate.  
A committee representing the Transportation and Mesa Police Departments  
and Procurement Services evaluated responses and recommend awarding  
the contract to the highest scored proposals from Advanced Security  
Technologies and Meridian Rapid Defense at $1,000,000 annually, with an  
annual increase allowance of up to 5%, or the adjusted Consumer Price  
Index.
