  • YEAR CREATED: 2006
  • ENTITY TYPE: City/Township
  • TYPE OF DOCUMENT: RFP - Request for Proposals
The document is a request for proposal (RFP) for a term contract for police dogs in Baltimore County, Maryland. The Baltimore County Police Department K-9 Unit is seeking male German Shepherd dogs that are approximately 2 years old for patrol/utility work. After two years, the dogs are cross-trained in explosive/firearms or narcotics. The K-9 unit's training staff identifies specialty canines and provides their training. The proposal requirements include information on the offeror's corporate business plan, methodology for qualifying suppliers, procedures for tracking the origin and medical history of the dogs, list of dog suppliers and veterinarians, and references from law enforcement entities. The County is interested in evaluating the overall value of the proposals, considering factors such as experience, qualifications, and responses, not just the price. Therefore, negotiations may be conducted with offerors to reach the best and final agreement. The specifications for the canines include being pre-titled, pure breed male German Shepherds, having received basic training in obedience, tracking, civil bite work, aggression, and being introduced to buildings. The canines should be in good health, have a high social temperament, prey/fight/defense drives, high ball/play drive, and be agile. The vendor must provide proof of origin, medical records, and proof of required shots. The canines will be evaluated by the Baltimore County Police K-9 Training Staff and examined by the contracted veterinarian. The document also mentions a pre-proposal conference, the process for questions and inquiries, and the evaluation criteria for awarding the contract. The County is looking for comprehensive proposals that meet the specified requirements and demonstrate the ability to provide high-quality police dogs for the K-9 Unit.
