Subject:Purchase of Alcohol and House Arrest Monitoring Equipment
BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)
equipment and monitoring services through Alcohol Monitoring Systems, Inc., the maker
and monitor of the equipment.
The Office of the Sheriff has an opportunity to purchase 100 SCRAMx units directly from
Alcohol Monitoring Systems, Inc., to include on-going warranty and monitoring of those
units. Purchasing instead of leasing the units will result in costs savings of $158,775
annually, reducing expenditures from $306,600 annually to $147,825 annually. This savings
commences after 10 months due to the initial purchase cost of the Scrams systems. As
additional units are needed over the 100 purchased, they will be leased through Pro Tech
Monitoring, Inc; however, future cost savings opportunities will be evaluated over time.
Sole source authorization is requested for purchase of these units through Alcohol
Monitoring Systems, Inc., as the Scrams units were already authorized through the lease
agreement with Pro Tech Monitoring, Inc., on May 11, 2010.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
The County will miss an opportunity for cost savings.
CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:
No impact.
