Approval of the Resolution.
BACKGROUND
The Ocean Drive Business Association purchased five (5) new state-of-the-art police
bicycles from the Miami Beach Bicycle Center valued at $5,500.00. The Ocean Drive
Business Association purchased the bicycles so that they could donate them to the Police
Department for police officers assigned to the bicycle patrol. The new bicycles were given
to the Police Department and are in use by bicycle officers assigned to Ocean Drive.
ANAL YSIS
Many bicycles now in use by the Police Department are more than five years old. Because
of the arduous duty required by these bicycles, they are ready for replacement. They also
pose a concern in terms of officer safety for those officers who ride them.
These new bicycles are TREK Police Bicycles. They are state-of-the-art and designed
especially for police work. The bicycles come equipped with dual suspensions, a rear rack
and a flashing light. Each bicycle costs approximately $1,100.00 for a total cost of
$5,500.00. This donation will allow the Police Department to provide needed new
equipment to an important component of its community Policing effort.
There are no funds required from the City for the purchase of these bicycles.
