Award contracts for cellular phones, accessories, and airtime service
based upon State of California contracts for a period of three-years in
the annual aggregate amount not to exceed $345,000 with the following
vendors:
Nextel Communications
Verizon Wireless
DISCUSSION
The City of Santa Ana utilizes cellular phones and airtime services for
field personnel, and for staff required to respond in immediate or
emergency situations. Verizon Wireless provides a variety of analog
and digital cellular phones designed to meet the individual
requirements of staff. Nextel Communications provides a dual system
phone that functions both as a mobile phone and two-way radio,
providing a link between field personnel and office operations. Both
vendors provide various airtime plans to fit staff requirements.
Santa Ana City Ordinance No. NS-2312 authorizes the City to purchase
against contracts from any public agency utilizing a competitive
process. Recently, the State of California awarded contracts for
cellular phones, accessories, and airtime service to Nextel
Communications and Verizon Wireless. The contracts were awarded based
upon a competitive bid process, and will provide the City with the
current cellular phone equipment and service as well as substantial
discounts from list price.
