March 13, 2012 Agenda Item No.:
A Resolution authorizing the City Manager to execute applicable
contracts and documents for the Police Department to purchase
one (1) police service dog to be used for dual purposes (patrol and
narcotics searches), not to exceed the cost of $10,000.00 from
Police Service Dogs (PSD), Inc., utilizing funds donated for that

2001
The Police Department is committed to providing the best possible police
service to the residents of South Miami by extending the availability of the
K-9's hours. In order to accomplish that goal, a second dual purpose
(patrol/narcotics) canine is needed. The vendor selected, (PSD, Inc.) has a
reputation for providing very high quality trained police dogs that win the
United States Canine Association Championships (USPCA) on a regular
basis. Two of their dogs, one at Lakeland, FL PD, the other at Kure Beach,
N.C. PD, won the championships this year (2012). PSD, Inc. has provided
dogs to the South Miami PD in the past and the dogs were of a high
quality and very satisfactory. The purchase of this police service dog will
be completely funded with donated funds, at no cost to the residents of
South Miami.
A summary of the quotations are below:
Vendor 1: US K-9 Academy -$8,900.00
Vendor 2: Police Service Dogs, Inc. -$10,000.00
Vendor 3: POcean K-9 -$11,500.00
Vendor 4: South MS Canine Consultants -$12,000.00
PSD, Inc. is recommended for the award despite not being the low bidder.
PSD, Inc. has a consistent track record in providing quality, well trained
services dogs. A reference check was performed that further supports the
award to PSD, Inc. K-9 units at Lakeland PD, FI, Miami-Dade County
School Board PD and City of Miami PD currently have PSD Inc. service
dogs in their units.
