PCH ---- RECOMMENDED ACTION: PURCHASE OF ELECTRONIC TARGET SYSTEM Staff recommends Council adopt Resolution No. 73/'( 3 , authorizing and directing the Purchasing Officer to make a sole source purchase of a Duelatron Electronic Target System. ITEM EXPLANATION On November 8, 1983, Council appropriated $65,000 for a police fl:..-ing range. The range was to include an electronic target system that will be used for situational training as well as for normal target training. The Police Department has selected a Duelatron 1510 Electronic Target System as the unit that ls most suitable for their training needs. Since this is a proprietary product of the Advanced Training Systems, it is ner ~ssary for the City Council to dispense with the bidding procedures, in accordance with Section 3.28.090(3) of the Carlsbad Municipal Code, and negotiate for the purchase of the system. FISCAL IMPACT The funds for the Electronic Target System are available in the Police Firing Range Account, 30-18-10-3159. The estimated cost of the target system is $25,000. EXHIBIT 1. Memorandum from Police Chief -Exhibit A 2. Resolution No. 7 Y'i.:3 / I DECEMBER 5, 1983 TO: FROM: Ruth Fletcher I< Purchasing Officer Chief Vincent Jimno EXHIBIT A DUELATRON ELECTRONIC TARGET SYSTEM: ADVANCED TRAINING SYSTEMS AS SOLE SOURCE Based upon our research and analysis of range-adaptable moving target systems, we have ascertained that the DUELATRON Electronic Target System is unique in design and manufacture, with Advanced Training Systems being the sole source for this system in the United States. The DUELATRON Electronic Target System is the only portable electronic target system in the country, and is an exclusive, proprietary product of ATS. It should also be noted that the RangeCOMputer we are purchasing, (1500 series) is a specific product within the DUELATRON product line, and is the only product available that has the capacity to store up to 40 courses of fire in- ternally. No other competitors were located who could match the versatility or the multi-faceted training benefits observed with this product. The RangeCOMputer in the 1500 series comes complete with either manual control or automatic progra~ming, each with precision timing. One to fifteen movable targets may be programmed with 1,200 combat targats and 1,200 target overlays additionally provided. Ihe DUELATRON system, the combat targets, and the QUIKchange Overlays are registered trademarks of Advanced Training Systems. ATS, again, is the sole source for the only full size, full color combat targets and ov<:1rlays which provide 36 different friend/ foe combinations. As you may be aware, our research also included a demonstration of the system at our department earlier this year. This demonstration, coupled with our research, revealed that the DUELATRON system should b~ of significant benefit to our training program and can certainly help us in eliminating any adverse legal/liability issues associated with firearms training. ATS will also provide free instruction to our personnel in the operation and maintenance of the DUELA- TRON system, at our convenience. Please feel free to attend. Thanks! VDJ:V .
