ADMINISTRATIVE ORDER,
Purchase of a Hewlett-Packard 5831 dual flame gas chromatograph
with computer controlled processor is approved without competi-
tive bids or advertisement as a patented item available only
from the Hewlett-Packard Company at a delivered cost of. . . . $11,941.60.
This instrument is a new development in it•s field and the Police
Department considers it necessary for the operation of the new
Police Crime Lab. The Lab is unable to make forensic analysis
without this equipment and has an immediate need for the equip-
ment to enable it to function effectively. Taking of bids with
a specification describing this particular type of equipment
would produce only one bid in accord with the specifications
and would involve a delay in delivery of the equipment of approxi-
mately sixty days.
