Recommendation
Motion to approve Agreement between the City of Delray Beach and Department of Navy, Naval Surface Warfare Center, Crane Division, for Night Vision Goggle rental for the Police Department’s SWAT team for FY 2024-2025.
Body
Background:
This is Department of the Navy, Naval Surface Warfare Center, Crane Division agreement for Night Vision Goggle rental, used by the Police Department’s SWAT team. The rental is possible due to the Law Enforcement Electro-Optics Loan Program which was formalized in August of 1999. The goal of the program is to optimize taxpayer's money by extending the useful life of military electro-optics equipment and provide law enforcement officials with a significant crime fighting capability they otherwise may not be able to afford.
The agreement is governed by Federal law and regulations. The agreement is for rental of twenty-three (23) night vision goggles for an annual amount of $6,900. The Department of Navy requires new agreement each year. The Police Department has already been renting this equipment, and due to the current cumulative spending with the Navy and the fact that it is an intergovernmental agreement, it was determined to be appropriate to have the Agreement approved by the Commission.
