AGENDA ITEM Prepared By: Correy Farniok Reviewed By: A. Carlson Approved By: 1. Purpose. The purpose of this request is to gain approval for the purchase of new rifles for the Orono Police Department. 2. Background. The Orono Police Department has had the current Smith and Wesson M&P15 AR- 15/M-4 platform patrol rifles for over ten years. This rifle is currently a discontinued model. These Smith and Wesson rifles have between 5,000-7,000+ rounds shot through them and are in need of replacement parts. We are currently experiencing rifles that are in need of maintenance beyond routine for issues based on age and wear. 3. Equipment Description. The Orono Police Department is requesting the purchase of 25 Sig Sauer M400 Pro Rifle with a Sig Sauer Suppressor. We will be requesting the purchase of 25 rifles to fully equip our patrol squads, investigative squads, administrative squads, Lake Minnetonka SWAT officers, and Armory inventory. The rifles will be equipped and come standard with upgraded ambidextrous charging handle, ambidextrous safety selector, upgraded stock, front and rear sights, M-Lok accessory rail system. We will use the current AimPoint Optics on the new rifles. The suppressors greatly assist with accuracy and target acquisition. The suppressor creates a decibel level of 140db which is below the sudden impact hearing loss threshold. This greatly reduces the over amplification in closed and open quarters. The suppressors can also help officers distinguish between shots fired at officers and/or officers discharging their weapons. The life expectancy of the suppressors is 10,000+ rounds. 4. Cost. The City is using the state contracted pricing for the purchasing of these patrol rifles. The rifles and suppressors can be purchased directly through Sig Sauer and shipped to the Orono Police Department. Sig Sauer will complete all required paperwork/documentation need for the purchase of the rifles and suppressors. SIG-M400 PRO with a 11.5 inch barrel (SBR), M-LOK system, and 1 (30) round magazine (SIG400P.11 Streicher’s unit price as contract through Sig Sauer). This rifle can only be purchased by Law Enforcement and only directly through Sig Sauer and/or a dedicated Sig Sauer Law Enforcement dealer. Item QTY Cost Each Total Cost SIG-M400 PRO with a 11.5 inch barrel (SBR) 25 $1,013.51 $25,337.75 SIG SAUER SLX556C direct thread 5.2 inch suppressor 25 $945.00 $23,625.00 TOTAL $48,962.75 Expected Trade on Smith and Wesson Rifles 22 $400 $8,000 TOTAL less trade in $40,962.75 5. Funding. This purchase will be funded through the police CIP. The police department has budgeted $50,000 for the replacement of patrol rifles in it’s 2021/2022 CIP and is requesting to replace these rifles in the next several months. 6. Staff Recommendation. I recommend the purchase of 25 patrol rifles as described above and also recommend trading in the 22 current patrol rifles to a local authorized firearms dealer.
