| | | | | | | | Agenda Title:
Approval is recommended to issue purchase orders to Motorola Solutions Inc. in the amount of $97,433.20 for the purchase of four (4) APX4500 Enhanced 7/800 MHz mobile radios, an APX4500 Enhanced 7/800 MHz mobile radio, and sixteen (16) APX6000 700/800 Model 2.5 portable radios for the Fire Department. |
| | | | | | | | Recommendations:
Council approval to issue a purchase order to Motorola Solutions Inc. in the amount of $97,433.20. |
| | | | | | | | Background:
Portable and mobile radios are an essential part of our personnel personal protective equipment. With the approval of the Fire Protection Sales Tax, the Fire Department will need to add to our number of radios for future expansion and to finalize replacement of older, outdated radios. These radios meet all requirements for the Kansas City Regional Radio System to provide interoperability across the metro area.
The purchase order, if approved, will be issued against the Contract for Public Safety Radios procured by the Kansas City Regional Planning RRP 83, which is a cooperative bid agreement. The cooperative purchasing provisions of paragraph 5 of the Independence City Code allows for the purchase of items competitively bid by other governmental entities.
Approval of this item authorizes the Finance Director to issue change orders up to a total of ten (10) percent of the original authorized amount, so long as appropriations are available.
