FILE NUMBER
Amend the contract with Motorola for the purchase of Motorola portable
radios in an amount not to exceed $600,000.
DISCUSSION
The United States Department of Homeland Security, in conjunction with the
National Telecommunications and Information Administration has developed
the Public Safety Interoperable Communications (PSIC) funding program.
PSIC provides funds to assist public safety agencies to upgrade portable
radios to ensure first responders, both Police and Fire, have the
capability to communicate with Federal and State agencies during an
emergency.
The California Emergency Management Agency (Cal-EMA) has allocated
$6,189,010 for this project and the County of Orange has identified a need
to purchase upgraded Motorola radios for first responders throughout the
County. This upgrade will allow compliance with Federal regulations
regarding interoperable communications that becomes law in 2010. This one
time opportunity allows both agencies to leverage grant funds for this
purchase while alleviating the eventual overall cost to the City.
