RECOMMENDATION:
It is respectfully requested that a resolution ratifying the City
Manager's emergency authorization to purchase security screening
equipment from Astrophysics Research Corporation, in the amount
of $57,000, be 'approved.
BACKGROUND:
The Police Department obtained the City Manager's approval to
waive the competitive bidding process for the purchase of
security screening equipment to be positioned in the entrance to
the Police Department. This equipment will be used to identify
individuals concealing weapons and attempting to gain access to
the Police Department. In light of the recent increases in
social ,unrest, together with incidents and threats of political
and' narco terrorism aimed at government institutions, the Police
Department had an immediate need to increase the level of
security. The purchase of this equipment was done on an
emergency basis to avoid the delay caused by the competitive
bidding process.
It is, therefore, recommended that the Resolution ratifying the
City Manager's action and authorizing the purchase of the
security screening equipment, at a cost of $57,000, be approved.
-� Funds to cover the purchase are available in the Capital

SUBJECT : tmergency Purchase X-stay

Chief of Police
ENCLOSURES.
One of the major items of importance to the Miami Police
Department is the redesign of the Central Headquarters Building
Lobby to enhance security. It is of paramount importance that as
our firbt line of protection, the Lobby be equipped with state -
of -the art detection devices.
Installation of this type of equipment will increase our ability
to ensure the safety of our employees, our Communications Center
and our visitors, by enabling the preliminary search and scan of
persons and packages entering the lobby.
The Department of Public Works, in preparation for the renovation
of the Lobby, included in their concept design an X-ray Security
Screening System. The security screening system includes
detection devices such as Astrophysics Research Corporation's
Linescan System Ten with E-Scan and the Sentrie AT Walk -Through
Magnotometer.
On September 24, 1990, the Department of Public Works was
notified of our approval of the concept and an implementation
schedule was requested. We have asked for a progress report on
this schedule.
In light of the recent increases in social unrest, together with
incidents and threats of political and narco terrorism aimed at
government institutions, the Police Department now has an
immediate need to advance the level of security.
Therefore, to immediately strengthen the level of building
security as it pertains to persons and packages entering the
building from the lobby, we request to purchase as an emergency
item the following X-Ray Security Screening System equipment:
1 Linescan System Ten with E-Scan $ 51,000
1 Sentrie AT Walk -Through Magnotometer 41650
1 6' Stainless Steel Baggage Slide 950
1600*
*Plus freight from the Miami storage site

this equipment in the Miami area for immediate delivery and
installation. Due to the increased threats throughout the
country, this equipment is in high demand while supplies are
limited.
Pursuant to Sec. 18-52.6 of the city Code your. approval to waive
the competitive bid process to purchase the above listed s
equipment from Astrophysics Research Corporation as an emergency
purchase is requested.
