Explanation
BACKGROUND: This legislation authorizes the Director of Finance and Management, on behalf of Facilities Management Division to establish a purchase order in the amount of $30,500.00 to purchase new radios for City Hall security personnel. This purchase order will be established from an existing Universal Term Contract (UTC) established through the competitive bidding process by the Purchasing Office with Motorola Solutions, Inc., Contract number FL004927.
The current radios will soon be inoperable due to the new radio band reorganization and thus, nonfunctional starting in 2015. The radios themselves are obsolete and parts will no longer be available for service. The new radios are in line with the radio capabilities of the rest of the City of Columbus departments and will enable the Security section of Facilities to maintain needed communication abilities.
Emergency action is requested so as to place the order, receive the new units, and put into use by January 1, 2015 to meet the new rebanding provisions.
Motorola Solutions, Inc. Contract Compliance No. 36-1115800, expiration date January 24, 2016.
