The University
awarded
a contract for
a system upgrade to a driving simulator
to
DriveSafety, Inc., Salt Lake City, UT
for
$61,150.
This purchase is only economically available from a single source because the
compatibility of equipment, accessories, replacement parts, or service is a paramount consideration.
The requested purchase is for a complete system upgrade to a driving simulator purchased in 2001. The current computers and software are unable to support proposed research and are beyond the age of system support by the original manufacturer. The computers are increasingly less reliable and internal maintenance costs and lost reseach time are unacceptable. This purchase will replace the computers and software but otherwise leave the original driving simulator intact.
