Emergency procurement
for replacement of
SWAT communication headsets
The City of Miami Police Department is respectfully requesting your authorization for an emergency
purchase of communication headset systems for the City of Miami Police SWAT Team.
The City of Miami Police SWAT Team is currently using outdated, ineffective communication
systems which have presented a safety hazard to the individual officers. These hazards consist of
the inability to effectively communicate amongst each other and the relaying of vital, actionable
information to command staff. Several attempts were made to make this purchase through the normal
procedures. A quote and purchase order was made for this equipment on December 15, 2017. The
Procurement Department requested additional information from the vendor. The vendor then
delayed on issuing that information. After receiving that information from the vendor, Procurement
requested a sole source justification memo, which was written and issued on February 22, 2018.
Due to an administrative error, this UASI-funded purchase was merged with the K-9 Unit's purchase
of their communications system; which was to be purchased with general funding. This purchase
order was sent and seen before commission but was pulled by K9 after realizing the error and the
inevitable loss of funds they would face. Because of this, the processes had to be restarted and seen
again before commission. The agenda for the next commission meeting has already been set and
does not allow for this issue to be revisited. The UASI funds for this equipment is set to expire in
December of this year. It is imperative that the SWAT Team have their communication systems in
working order and up to date, to respond to potentially some of the most dangerous situations in law
enforcement.
Per the emergency procurement procedures as defined in Section 18-90 of the City Code,
authorization to waive a competitive bid process, the City of Miami Police Department is requesting
to procure the communication systems.
Upon approval, and pursuant to section 18-90 of the City Code, an item will be prepared for
ratification on this emergency procurement for an upcoming conunission meeting.
Thank you for your consideration regarding this request.
