RECOMMENDED ACTION
Direct the City Attorney to prepare and authorize the City Manager and the
Clerk of the Council to execute an amendment to the agreement with
Motorola, Inc. to service the Police Department's vehicle radio modems and
radio network controller in an amount not to exceed $35,000.
DISCUSSION
In 1997, the Police Department was awarded a federal "COPS MORE" grant to
purchase laptop computers for patrol officers. An officer's laptop can
send and receive calls for service, messages, and emergency radio traffic.
A radio modem and a radio network controller are two pieces of required
equipment that allow an officer's laptop to communicate with the police
dispatch center. Motorola, Inc. was selected as the department's vendor
for vehicle radio modems and the radio network controller. Motorola modems
are proprietary and can only be serviced by Motorola, Inc. The one-year
service renewal agreement will provide maintenance and support for police
radio modems and the network controller.
FISCAL IMPACT
Funds are available in the Police Department's Computer
Contractual Services account (account no. 011-338-6291).
