Chandler, County Administrator <br /> From : Thomas W. Frame, General Services Director cj • --�'— <br /> Subject : Approval Request to Buy Trap and Skeet Type Machines as a Sole Brand for <br /> Public Shooting Range <br /> BACKGROUND : <br /> In order to provide the desired services for the shooting range, a sporting clays range is being <br /> developed. As such, the county needs to purchase 17 clay target skeet machines . When the <br /> contractor constructed the Five- Stand (Skeet/Trap) facility at the range, six LaPorte skeet <br /> machines were installed. Staff would like to purchase the same brand machines for the sporting <br /> clays to maintain uniformity with our existing equipment . This allows the uniform service <br /> availability and uniformity of parts. The machines are available through a negotiated contract <br /> between Broward County and Howell Shooting Supplies, Inc . The prices were discounted <br /> approximately 40% over standard retail prices . <br /> If approved, the range would purchase 16 LaPorte Automatic Sporting Trap Machine at $2 , 450 <br /> each and one LaPorte Automatic Rabbit machine at $ 3 , 475 . <br /> RECOMMENDATION : <br /> Inasmuch as the base price was established in Broward County through the acquisition of <br /> competitive quotes which resulted in an approximate 40% saving, staff would recommend that <br /> the Board authorize the acquisition of the LaPorte brand skeet machines through the Broward <br /> County negotiated contract. <br /> JULY 179 2001 ° <br /> X13 U 6 <br /> - 35 - <br />
