14. 4-c Three-Year Term Contract with Two-Year Renewal Options for Hostile Vehicle Mitigation Barriers for the Mesa Police Department (Citywide) The Police Department’s primary responsibility during special event planning is to ensure public safety with particular emphasis on traffic management and the prevention and response to disturbances or acts of violence such as vehicle-based attacks. Acquiring specialized safety barriers will help reduce or potentially eliminate the need to rely on school buses, police vehicles, and cumbersome concrete blocks, which are difficult to position and relocate. The Police Department currently has $450,000 budgeted to complete the initial purchase. The Department is actively working to secure additional funding to allow for the acquisition of more barriers during the initial contract year and in subsequent years. A committee representing the Transportation and Mesa Police Departments and Procurement Services evaluated responses and recommend awarding the contract to the highest scored proposals from Advanced Security Technologies and Meridian Rapid Defense at $1,000,000 annually, with an annual increase allowance of up to 5%, or the adjusted Consumer Price Index.
