Authorize payment to Motorola for replacement of the base station equipment
in the amount not to exceed $24,150.59.
DISCUSSION
The Police Department utilizes the base station located on top of the City
Hall building to connect the Computer Aided Dispatch system (CAD) to the
vehicular radio modems (VRM) in the patrol vehicles. The base station no
longer functions properly and only works intermittently. Maintenance of
the base station can no longer be provided by the contracted vendor. The
information shared between the CAD and the VRM is mission critical and is
required to ensure high quality services to the community. The Police
Department requests authorization to pay Motorola for the replacement and
installation of the base station equipment.
FISCAL IMPACT
Funds are available in the Police Department's Computer Services fund
(account no. 11-338-6641).
