Date:1-30-02 Reference No. Purchase of 15 Portable Radios for the Police Department
1 ofl
RECOMMENDATIONS:
It is recommended that City council approve the purchase of 15 portable radios with
accessories, from Motorola under the H-GAC contract for use by the police department. Total
cost of the purchase is $42,545.75. The amount for this purchase is to be taken from account
#112-1101.521.9200, Project LLEBG-01. This purchase was approved in the public hearing held
to allocate LLEBG Grant Funds. ~
BACKGROUND:
It has been found that the initial model radios purchased for use by the police department in
1997 are too fragile for police work and experience expensive repairs. The radios to be
purchased are robust, Motorola Model MTS-2000 Series II, of which the police department is
using and found to hold up well to the rigors of police work. The purchase of the radios if
approved will allow the police department to begin phasing out the LTS-2000 model radios.
BUDGET/FISCAL EFFECT:
Funds for this purchase were allocated in the LLBG Grant, Account #112-1101.521.9200.
STAFF/EMPLOYEE EFFECT:
This purchase will improve employee confidence and safety by replacing the existing issued
portable that is prone to break down.
SUMMARY:
It is recommended that City council approve the purchase of 15 portable radios
with accessories, from Motorola under the H-GAC contract, for use by the police
department.
