Explanation

In 2006, the Public Service Department, Refuse Collection Division, converted its low band radio system to an 800 MHz radio system. This new high band system facilitates more efficient communications because of the technical efficiencies inherent in a high-band system.

The radio infrastructure supporting the 800 MHz radio system [radio towers, repeaters, etcetera] for public service providers in Franklin County is maintained by the Franklin County Radio System and coordinated by the Central Ohio Communication Advisory Committee, while the public safety 800MHz radio systems are maintained by the City of Columbus, Support Service Division. The original agreement between the Refuse Collection Division and Franklin County was authorized by Ordinance 0952-2006, which was approved 06/26/2006. This legislation authorizes the Public Service Director to modify this agreement with Franklin County by extending it through February 28, 2009 and increasing the amount of the contract in an amount not to exceed $71,719.00 This legislation also authorizes the expenditure of $27,000.00 or so much thereof as may be necessary to pay for the expenses related to this contract for 2007.

This ordinance is being submitted as an emergency to ensure an uninterrupted supply of radio service.

Fiscal Impact: Funds in the amount of $15,019.00 were established in 2006 for six months of service. Funds for this expenditure are budgeted and available in the 2007 Refuse Collection General Fund Budget.
