Berkeley County officials opened several procurement responses at the April 10 meeting, reading bid amounts into the record for a variety of law-enforcement and public-safety items.
Animal-control pistols: The bid for 10 pistols for animal control was submitted by Atlantic Tactical Incorporated (New Cumberland, Pennsylvania) for $13,245.20.
Incinerator (evidence destruction): Two responsive bids were read.

No awards were made at the April 10 meeting; the bids were recorded and will be evaluated by staff under county procurement rules. Department staff answered commissioners' questions about the intended use of the incinerator (evidence destruction where court orders require elimination of contraband) and the grant funding source (staff indicated philanthropic/grant sources but did not specify a single funding agency in the meeting).
