Joint resolution accepting the Illinois State Opioid Response Criminal Justice Medication Assisted Recovery Integration Grant and authorizing an emergency appropriation in the amount of $50,000.
∙ In October 2022, the Sheriff’s Office applied for the Illinois State Opioid Response Criminal Justice Medication Assisted Treatment Integration Grant.
∙ The Sheriff’s Office received notification on November 1, 2022, that it had been awarded $50,000 to be used to continue the current Vivitrol Program in place at the Lake County Jail, for substance abuse groups/counseling at the Lake County Jail or for Narcan Training for inmates at the Lake County Jail.
∙ The Sheriff’s Office will use the grant funds to pay for Vivitrol, a medication that will be administered by the contracted jail medical provider. Vivitrol is an extended release injectable suspension medication to treat opioid dependence.
8.8 23-0174
Joint resolution authorizing a five-year contract with Axon, Scottsdale, Arizona, for the purchase of tasers for the Lake County Sheriff’s Office in the total amount of $552,369.20.
∙ The X26 tasers used by court and corrections officers will no longer be supported by Axon beginning March 2023. Axon has proposed a complete switch out of non-supported equipment and hosted digital media evidence for 150 tasers for five years.
∙ The X27 tasers included in this proposal are covered under a five-year warranty and includes instructor training, rechargeable batteries, duty and training cartridges, docking stations, and auto-download data similarly to the body-worn cameras.
∙ The Sheriff’s Office has separate contracts with Axon for body-worn cameras for the law enforcement division, corrections division, and for 150 in car cameras. These contracts all use Evidence.com and each user has a unique log-in. With this purchase, the Sheriff’s Office will have one platform and service provider going forward for body-worn cameras, T27 tasers, and in-car camera solutions.
∙ Pursuant to Section 33.115 of the Lake County Purchasing Ordinance, Cooperative Joint Purchasing Authorized, Lake County may participate in a cooperative purchasing agreement for the procurement of goods with one or more public procurement units in accordance with an agreement entered into between the participants.
∙ The Lake County Sheriff’s Office identified a joint purchasing contract with Axon through Sourcewell to procure tasers and the cloud-based solution, evidence.com that was competitively solicited and awarded. The final agreement is currently in final legal review and expected to be executed by February 28, 2023. The final award and order of equipment is contingent on receipt of a fully executed contract.
∙ The contract provides for new Axon tasers and hosting maintenance for the cloud enabled software in the estimated annual amount of $100,729.46 for the two through five of the contract will increase in price by 3.8 percent per year.
