Information
In 2019, the Police Department was awarded an Urban Area Security Initiative (UASI) Grant from the Cook County
Department of Homeland Security and Emergency Management (DHSEM) in the amount of $58,995 to fund a new
Respirator Mask Program. These are Federal grant funds filtered down from the U.S. Department of Homeland
Security, through the State of Illinois, and to the County of Cook to fund programs that assist local communities in
the prevention, mitigation, and response to acts of terrorism. The Police Department's current inventory of gas masks
are at the end of their useful life, and these grant funds are assisting the Police Department in obtaining new
respirator masks and associated equipment. The use of these masks are critical to the Police Department's ability to
respond to an act of terrorism in the community and protect officers from chemical and viral agents.
In furtherance of the grant project, the Police Department posted a formal bid packet on "Demandstar" soliciting bids
from vendors on March 11, 2020. The bid packet included all of the pertinent details regarding the project and the
equipment that was being sought. The bid packet identified the due date of March 30, 2020 at 1 PM at the Village
Clerks Office for a public bid opening. Due to concerns surrounding COVID-19, an addendum was drafted changing
the bid opening from in-person, to a GoToMeeting online platform was used, where bidders were able to observe the
bid openings remotely.
On March 30, 2020, the Police Department received bids from the following three vendors: Pro -Tech ($42,990.00),
Taza Supplies, dba Tiles in Style ($49,970.00), and Streicher's ($56,540.00). Pro -Tech provided the best bid pricing
and their bid included everything requested in the formal bid packet. The bid includes: 100 Avon C50 Air Respirator
Masks, 100 CBRN (chemical, biological, radiological and nuclear) Filters, 100 clear outset assembly (glass protection),
100 universal masks carriers, and 30 vision correction assembly inserts for officers who need corrective lenses.
The Police Department has made prior purchases from Pro -Tech, and is confident in Pro-Tech's ability to provide the
aforementioned items. The remaining grant funds will be used to purchase a new fit -testing machine from another
