ITEM SUMMARY:
For FY 2019, the Police Department has planned and budgeted for the purchase and installation of a Mechanical
Assist High-Density Mobile Storage System and Pass through Evidence Lockers at the Police Station. The High-
density mobile shelving concept will allow the Department to store the same volume of items in a fraction of the
space, allowing more room for storage in the present and accommodate growth of incoming evidence in the future.
Police Evidence Storage is a very small and specialized market. Ellis Systems and Bradford Systems are the only
two companies in this market. Original quotes were received for the purchase and installation of the above described
storage system and evidence lockers as follows:
Mechanical Assist High-Density Mobile Storage System:
e Wolter Group (Ellis Systems) , Brookfield, Wisconsin - $28,065.00
e Bradford Systems, Bensenville, Il. - $29,340.00
Pass through Evidence Lockers:
e Wolter Group (Ellis Systems) , Brookfield, Wisconsin - $9,040.00
e Bradford Systems, Bensenville, Il. - $14,310.00
The purchase and installation of the Mechanical Assist High-Density Mobile Storage System and Pass Through
Evidence Lockers from the Wolter Group (Ellis System) will be purchased from the Other Capital Outlay line item
(0106134806) in which $38,800.00 has been budgeted for in FY 2019 to cover this expense. Restricted drug funds
will be used to fund this project.
