source purchase of Home Arrest Equipment for
the Kent Police Department.
WHEREAS, the council has authorized the purchase of
certain in-house electronic monitoring system equipment in concert
with Corrections Facility programs administered by the Kent Police
Department; and
WHEREAS, the city desires to acquire the most ideally
suitable monitoring equipment for use at the Kent Corrections
Facility and operated with direct control by the City; and
WHEREAS, the Police Department and Information Services
Department have examined available manufacturers meeting desired,
efficiency, system design, costs, compatability with existing
automation equipment and operational standards for in-house
monitoring systems which are tamper resistant and reliable for
home detention of defendants subject to criminal proceedings,
including pre-trial and post-trial confinement; and
WHEREAS, as a result of the City's examination and study
of competing systems and manufacturers, the Kent Police and
Information Services Departments have determined that upon the
basis of personal computer design and integration with the City's
existing automation system, reliability on the basis of three-year
battery life for ankle transmitters, and the ability to provide
for hands on operation by Kent Corrections staff, that Trak-Tech,
Inc. "Trak-I" system is the only suitable system meeting the
City's multiple standards and objectives; and
WHEREAS, the departments have also concluded that there
is only a single regional source of supply and manufacturer of
this system, and that such company is also the only source capable
of providing for maintenance, parts, service, training, and
warranty work on such system; NOW, THEREFORE,
THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF KENT, WASHINGTON DOES
HEREBY RESOLVE AS FOLLOWS:
Section 1. The Council finds that the purchase and/or
place of such equipment is clearly and legitimately limited to a
single source of supply and are subject to special market
conditions because of unique system design and operational
requirements of the Kent Police Department and Information
Services Department study.
Section 2. Bidding requirements for purchasing of
"Trak-I" by Trak-Tech, Inc., as described in the Kent Police
Department study hereby waived for purposes of RCW 35.23.352 and
