ITEM 26
City Council Memorandum Police Memo No.
N/A
Date:
October 14, 2021
To:
Mayor and Council
Thru:
Joshua H. Wright, City Manager
Sean Duggan, Police Chief
From:
Chris Perez, Police Commander
Subject:
Sole Source Purchase of Leica RTC360 3D Scanner Kit
Proposed Motion:
Move City Council approve the sole source purchase of a Leica RTC360 3D Scanner Kit, from Surveyors Source, in the amount of $121,861.85.
Background/Discussion:
The Police Department is requesting to purchase the Leica RTC360 Laser Scanner to assist with the investigation of large crime scenes and vehicle collisions. The scanner is highly portable, highly automated, and designed for maximum productivity. The RTC360 3D scanner produces high resolution scanning up to 2 million points per second at crime and crash scenes which are then uploaded into a point cloud. The RTC360 scans and completes the post-processing work as it scans. This technology allows detectives to immediately provide the data in a command post setting or at scene for review and assessment, significantly reducing the time necessary to conduct the investigation. Without the Leica 3D scanner, it would take hours or days to produce only a 2D product.
The technology is especially useful with large crime scenes and crushed vehicles where points can be measured within millimeters of each other. The Leica 3D scanner final product can also be merged with a UAV (unmanned aerial vehicle) scan. It will assist in the recreation of crime scenes in documenting surrounding structures and landscapes at the time of investigation, allowing investigators to re-visit and digitally walk the 3D scene at a later time. The scanner comes with software that can create a web share view of the crime scene for post-incident investigation, training or analysis. The RTC360 scanner will enhance the quality of the investigation and significantly cut down the amount of time needed for at scene investigations and roadway closures.
Evaluation:
Surveyors Source is the sole distributor for Leica Geosystems. Staff recommends the purchase of the Leica RTC360 3D Scanner Kit, from Surveyors Source, as a sole source.
