Description

For $11,000.00 in payment authority to purchase a custom-built Blaster One Remote Firing System Kit and accessories for the Police Department. The kit includes two remote blasting systems and two remote blasting receivers explicitly configured to the specifications requested by the Homeland Defense Bureau Bomb Squad. Bomb Technicians will use the kit to initiate electric and non-electric blasting caps in training and rendering safe procedures for suspected hazardous devices and IEDs. The purchase provides the Bomb Squad with a reliable, modern, remote firing system. In addition, it reduces overall costs by wirelessly connecting the ends of the system instead of using electric wires or an expensive non-electric shock tube. Funding is available under the Fiscal Year 2021 State Homeland Security Enhancement Response Vehicle grant.
