Portable radios are used to track the location <br />of officers and to call for assistance when needed. The jail is <br />constructed of three-foot thick cement walls. As a result, a special <br />antenna is required within the building to eliminate radio dead zones. <br />The antenna is compatible with the Ericsson LPE-200 portable radios that <br />are currently used at the jail. The new radios will replace existing <br />radios that were purchased ten years ago and are no longer serviceable. <br /> <br />The notice inviting bids was advertised on November 15 and 17, 2004, and <br />bids were solicited.
