RESOLUTION
A RESOLUTION OF THE MAYOR AND CITY COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF
SOUTH MIAMI, FLORIDA, AUTHORIZING THE CITY MANAGER TO EXECUTE
APPLICABLE CONTRACTS AND DOCUMENTS FOR THE POLICE DEPARTMENT
TO PURCHASE ONE (1) REPLACEMENT PATROL/NARCOTICS K -9 NOT TO
EXCEED THE COST OF $8,500.00 FROM POLICE SERVICE DOGS, INC.,
UTILIZING FUNDS DONATED FOR THAT PURPOSE AND AT NO COST TO THE
CITY; PROVIDING FOR AN EFFECTIVE DATE
BACKGROUND AND ANALYSIS
The Police Department is requesting to purchase a replacement second K -9, which will be dual -
certified for use in patrol functions and the detection of narcotics. This K -9 replacement will
maintain the level of service the Police Department is able to provide to the citizens of South
Miami. In patrol, the K -9 is used in officer safety situations, building searches, locating missing
persons, apprehending fleeing felons, for crowd control and to assist other agencies. The K -9 is
also a very popular public relations tool for schools and public demonstrations. In detection of
narcotics, the K -9 is used for narcotics apprehensions, which may lead to the forfeiture of
property.
The purchase of this replacement patrol /narcotics K -9 will be at no cost to the city, since it comes
from dedicated funds donated from merchants and citizens of South Miami for that specific
purpose.
Police Service Dogs, Inc. was the lowest bidder of three (3) bids received by the police
department. As part of their contract, Police Service Dogs, Inc. will provide continual training for
the K -9 and it's handler at no extra cost to the City of South Miami. This represents a potential
added annual savings to the City of $4,800.00.
RECOMMENDATION
Your approval is recommended.
