A-22-076 Resolution – Purchase of Training Simulator – Police Department – Waive Competitive Bidding
Request the Board approve a Resolution entitled “A RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING THE VILLAGE PRESIDENT TO EXECUTE A PROPOSAL FROM TI TRAINING LE, LLC ON BEHALF OF THE VILLAGE AND AUTHORIZE THE PURCHASE OF A SIMULATOR TRAINING SYSTEM.” This Resolution authorizes the purchase of a Recon 180 Scenario-Based Simulator Training System from Ti Training for $160,050.00 and waives the competitive bidding process.
Trustee Harper presented the Resolution and moved for approval. Trustee Cecille seconded the motion. Police Chief Daryl Syre this scenario-based training system will help to meet the state-mandated training for all police officers. The PD has borrowed/shared access to simulators, but the time is very limited. Several area departments have simulators and visits were made to view/use the simulators for evaluations. The Ti Training system is the recommended purchase and will fit into planned space during the renovations to the PD building. It allows for the widest array of weapon systems, and has exclusive innovations for additional features, equipment, camera and custom scenarios. The proposed Ti Training system has a 5-year warranty with service, and funds from the Equitable Sharing Account (seizure funds) will be used for the purchase.
Trustee Harper confirmed several of the hardware components and software, and also confirmed this would be for Streamwood PD exclusive use on site. Chief Syre also noted the inclusion of a full library of scenarios, and new scenarios are offered annually. Trustee Harper asked if there was any applicable use for Fire Department training; Chief Clark stated he was not aware this type of simulator would be used for fire training. Trustee Cecille asked about the training classes for the equipment in Colorado; Chief Syre stated specific officers would receive the training and then do peer training for the department. ROLL CALL:
