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 2025-2026.
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 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. While unable to do it for this year due to Navy's internal process, we have requested an entity name change to City of Delray Beach for future agreements.
City Attorney Review:
Approved as to form and legal sufficiency.
Funding Source/Financial Impact:
Funding for this agreement is in GL account 001-21-150-521.44-30 Rentals & Leases Equipment.
Timing of Request:
The existing agreement ends on November 13, 2025.
