ON THE QUESTION
Alderman Cookson
| just wanted to complement the police on this because even though it is a sole source, they went out and
investigated what it would be if it wasn’t a sole source. They came back with a higher price if it were to be
multi-bid. | think it is the right thing to do to go with the sole source and move forward with this.
