ISTM is based out of the Police Department's Training Center. Since its inception in 1996, ISTM has trained more than 1100 individuals from over 540 different agencies. Some of ISTM's clients include the military, Department of Homeland Security, Secret Service, and many state and local law enforcement, fire department and EMS agencies. ISTM's founder and chief executive officer, Dr. Lawrence Heiskell, is a reserve officer with the City's Police Department and serves as a tactical medical officer on the City's special response team. Staff has prepared a lease agreement with ISTM for the use of the training equipment that will be purchased under the grant. This equipment includes, but is not limited to: a % ton truck, trailer, laptop computer, projector, portable generator, and trauma mannequins. Under the terms of this lease agreement, ISTM has agreed to maintain all equipment without cost to the City, as well as to provide the necessary insurance and indemnification to protect the City from any claims that may arise out of the use of said equipment. The term of the lease agreement is for five (5) years. ISTM has agreed to provide on-going tactical medical training to the City's Police Department at no cost throughout the term of the agreement. At the end of the agreement, ISTM can return the equipment or purchase it from the City for its appraised value or an amount to be negotiated by the City. Of the equipment to be purchased under the grant only one item, a 3/ ton long-bed pickup truck, requires City Council approval due to its cost. The Procurement and Contracting Division conducted two Requests for Quotation (RFQ #2008-01 and 02) sending notices via fax to eighteen Ford dealerships in Southern California. The detailed specification for this Ford F-250 4x4 SD Crew Cab Lariat was approved by POST based upon the request of ISTM. No dealerships were able to meet all of the POST's specifications on the first Request for Quotation. With the approval of ISTM and POST, a second RFQ was issued eliminating several items from the original specification. Only one dealership, Wondries Ford of Alhambra, was able to meet the modified specifications. Staff is recommending award to Wondries Ford of Alhambra in the amount of $45,329.08 for the purchase of a 3/ ton long-bed Ford F-250 truck. FISCAL IMPACT: Purchase of this vehicle is covered under the POST grant and will not require any City funds.
