Explanation
BACKGROUND: This ordinance authorizes the Director of the Department of Finance and Management, on behalf of the Division of Support Services, to associate the General Budget Reservation resulting from this ordinance with the Universal Term Contract Purchase Agreement for Motorola Radios with Motorola Solutions Inc., as required for approval by City Council for an expenditure of more than $100,000.00. The division of Support Services needs to purchase replacement hand held radios for Police and Fire sworn personnel, for the various recruit classes for both groups, and for other public safety personnel. 55 percent of the Department of Public Safety's radio inventory is 15-20 years old and it is increasingly difficult to locate replacement parts and maintain service support. An existing Universal Term Contract was established by the Purchasing Office for such purpose with Motorola Solutions, Inc. This ordinance will fund the purchase of new radios and accessories with Motorola Solutions, Inc. via the terms and conditions of the Universal Term Contract established with Motorola.
Bid Information: A Universal Term Contract with Motorola Solutions Inc. exists for this expenditure. The contract compliance number for Motorola Solutions Inc. is CC-007169 (expires 10/18/2024).
Emergency Designation: Emergency designation is requested in order to ensure regional radio interoperability with surrounding Public Safety Agencies as well as to provide safety to those first responders in the Divisions of Police and Fire, without interruption, and to take advantage of a vendor discount, which expires June 28, 2024.
FISCAL IMPACT: This ordinance authorizes the expenditure of $2,499,961.83 from an existing purchasing agreement with Motorola Solutions, Inc. for radios and accessories for the City's safety forces and an amendment and transfer within Public Safety's 2023 Capital Improvement Budget.
