Award a contract to Motorola, Inc.
vehicular radio modems in the amount

DISCUSSION
The Parks, Recreation and Community Services Agency utilities
commissioned Park Rangers to patrol the City' s parks and recreational
areas to improve safety and security in these areas. To enhance the
Park Ranger's ability to assist the Santa Ana Police Department in
emergency situations, the Parks Service is installing two Motorola
vehicular radio modems in the Ranger's vehicles to facilitate the
connection to the Police communications network. Only the Motorola
line of radio modems is compatible with the Police Communications
network. Motorola sells the product line through retail stores,
authorized distributors and direct sales. Staff has determined the
Motorola vehicular VRM-850, 800 MHz radio modem is a sole source
product with Motorola, Inc. and recommends the purchase of the radio
modems.
In addition, the City annually establishes blanket order contracts of
up to $10,000 with various vendors on a fiscal year basis. The
contracts facilitate purchases that are required on a recurring basis
and reduce the number of small value orders. However, the purchase of
the radio modems, when added to the vendor's fiscal purchases, exceeds
the $10,000 aggregate total, and requires Council approval. In order
for various agencies to continue using Motorola, Inc., staff recommends
Council approval of a blanket order contract.
