RECOMMENDED ACTION
Award a contract to Meggitt Defense Systems (MDS) Caswell for firing range
upgrade and maintenance in the amount of $44,500.
DISCUSSION
The Santa Ana Police Department's firing range consists of an upper and
lower range. Each range has six shooting bays and a Caswell computer-based
target system. The Caswell target system allows range masters to pre-
program each bay's target. Targets are programmed to move forward,
backward, and face or face away from the shooter. Santa Ana officers as
well as 17 outside agencies use the firing range on a continuous basis for
training. The current Caswell target system installed in 1997 is obsolete,
requires constant maintenance and repair, and is no longer reliable.
Staff has determined that an upgrade to the current Caswell target system
is more cost effective than complete replacement, and is necessary to allow
officers to continue to use the firing range to maintain and improve their
firearm skills. The upgrade to the current system includes new software,
hardware, and mechanical parts required to run the target system. MDS
Caswell, the sole source provider for the Caswell target system has agreed
to upgrade the current target system to include installation, training and
maintenance. As a result, staff recommends Council approval of the
upgrade.
