The Department of Police is seeking to acquire this transport system for an amount not to exceed $24,600.00. Funding is available from the Law Enforcement Trust Fund, Project numbers 690001, 690002, and 690003. According to the Police Department, the department is seeking to purchase an SID Explosive Device Transport System to replace the current transport system, which was purchased in 1983 from Criminalistics, and is in dire need of repairs and updates. This explosive transport system is used to safely transport an explosive device, or a suspected explosive device, to a remote area away from the public where it can be destroyed or dismantled. This system is necessary in order to respond to and handle all calls related to threats of explosive devices, and/or to safely remove actual explosive devices from an area. As part of the research, staff contacted Criminalistics, Inc. and secured a list of references to whom this explosive device transport system was sold. Staff further contacted the Arapahoe County Sheriff's Department (Littleton, Colorado), who advised me the transport system was tested and purchased as a sole source. In addition, the New York State Police also acquired this system as a sole source. From research by staff conducted over the Internet, no other explosive device transport system with these feature, including remote capability, could be located. Accordingly, I am recommending that the requirements for competitive bidding be waived, and these findings be approved: Criminalistics, Inc., in an amount not to exceed $24,600.00, is the sole source provider of an SID Explosive Device Transport System.

Additionally, this testing documents the system's ability to contain numerous detonations, and establishes the highew detunaring vetuciry and eexl losive mass that our Bomb Transport System can handle. This includes "worst case" situattiQns which are most pertinent to the operators and citizens exposed to the extrcn-,c hazards. The legal ramifieutions, corm oniy espousodas "the: deep pockets theory" by those eager to file suit, are inherent with device disposal activities by government agencies and dictate that an inilel cntlenity tested rind proven syste rm be chosen for the best legal posture. 7560 N.VV. 82nd Street • Miami, FL 33166 a Phonc: (305) 885-6444 0 Fax (305) 885-3330 6426 State i (ic3hway 508 • Morton, WA 98356 • Phone (360)496-6210 • Fax (360) 496-6210 P.02 SIDT'll is the only system with over 30 years of proven pufoniiaricc by over 90 agencies world wide, SIDI'" is the only coinniercially produced system donated and put On location in 1971 it the Hazardous Device School at Redstone Arsenal, Alabama This same system is still on location at the training cent ef.

Suspected Item Dispos Page I of I SID TM Suspected Item Disposal SIDTM is the world's first commercially produced explosive device transport system. With over 25 years of proven life saving service, this certified explosive transport system is in use with over 100 agencies worldwide. Uniquely designed with a specialized head and replaceable inner cylinder, SID TM can remain in service for many years even after extreme detonations. Extensively tested by the U.S. Army under the auspices of the eminently qualified National Bomb Data Center, this unit safely controlled the detonation of up to 20 pounds of TNT, Composition Four and High Density Primers (Technical Bulletin 44- 72). Subsequent testing also concluded that the transport unit provided ample protection inside a simulated truck towing the unit. Peak shock pressures recorded inside the truck cab did not approach the level that would cause damage to the driver's eardrums. Designed with the highest regard to safety, SIDTM is the most extensively tested bomb disposal unit with a well documented history of service. Compact in size, this lightweight trailer can be easily towed by an average sedan and maneuvered in tight narrow streets. It is also equipped with electric brakes on each wheel and a battery powered break away system that stops the trailer in the,unlikely event it becomes separated from the towing vehicle. FarawaTM, an advanced remote loading and unloading system, is included for use with the SIDTM system. Using this system, the operator controls the loading and unloading of a suspect item by coded radio up to 500 feet away or by hard wired cable up to 100 feet away. Once the item is secured, FarawaTM moves the device to the blast chamber. The system is preprogrammed to stop directly over the center of the chamber, preventing over travel and eliminating guess work. FarawaTM is also available separately for use with existing systems. http://ertci.com/equipment/SID.htm CO- 529 05/23/2000 0 CITY OF MIAMI, FLORIDA INTER -OFFICE MEMORANDUM TO: Walter J.
