The Decatur Emergency Response Team is currently staffed at 21 members; thus, the <br /> recommendation is to purchase 21 weapons and accessories to equip each rifle universally. These <br /> rifles will be assigned to ERT members only and will be utilized during ERT operations. <br /> The recommended Daniel Defense MK 18 (SBR) and the accessories are known for their <br /> reliability and are used by SWAT teams across the nation. Daniel Defense brand weapons are <br /> used by members of the Decatur Police Department and are reliable and well manufactured <br /> weapons. These weapon systems will withstand the rigorous training environment and be a <br /> reliable system to deploy in the field compared to a cheaper weapon. This weapon system is <br /> robust and can be maintained easily to stand the test of time of deployment and training <br /> operations. <br /> Bids were taken for the weapons and accessories,with three companies providing a response. <br /> The bid proposal from Ray O'Herron Company was the most inclusive with the requested items, <br /> and they provide the option of a single source purchase. This purchase would not require the use <br /> of General Fund monies. <br />
