Plainfield police correct vehicle purchase price; council to consider one‑year ShotSpotter renewal
Summary
Police department asked the council to correct an earlier resolution to reflect the right total for three patrol vehicles and to approve a one‑year contract renewal with SoundThinking (ShotSpotter) for an amount not to exceed $168,852.
The Plainfield Police Department presented two items for council consideration: a corrected total for the purchase of three patrol vehicles and a one‑year contract renewal with SoundThinking, the vendor commonly known as ShotSpotter.
The police director said the dealership figure originally provided was incorrect; the corrected amount to purchase the three vehicles is “not to exceed $147,465.32.” The department returned the resolution to reflect the revised total.
The second resolution seeks approval to renew the ShotSpotter gunshot-detection contract for one year in an amount not to exceed $168,852. The police director told the council the city has used the system for 15 to 16 years and considers it necessary for public‑safety work.
Council members gave consensus to add both items to the voting meeting for formal approval.
Next steps: the corrected vehicle purchase figure and the contract renewal will appear on the voting agenda for a recorded vote.
