Purchasing Agent
It is recommended that a resolution be passed
waiving the requirement for formal sealed bids
and authorizing the purchase of a Portable
Motion Status Tracking System - "Bird Doe 300"
from Audio Intelligence Devices at a total cost
of $6,525.00.
The Department of Police has requested the purchase of a Portable
Motion Status Tracking System " Bird Dog 300" at a total cost of
$6,525.00.
The equipment is manufactured by Audio Intelligence Devices, and
is not available from any other source.
The Bird Dog 300 Electronic Directional Tracking System, developed
by Audio Intelligence Devices consists of a transmitter which at-
taches to a subject vehicle and a Direction Finding receiver lo-
cated in the tracking vehicle, providing consistent and accurate
directional information of the subject. The Bid Dog system pro-
vides an effective method of maintaining constant surveillance
of a subject vehicle from a discrete distance, with a minimum
of personnel and without the necessity of continous visual con-
tact, and its accompaning risk of compromise.
Funds for the purchase are available in the 1981-82 Operating
Budget.
