RECOMMENDED ACTION
Amend the contract with Motorola for the purchase of Motorola portable
radios by $44,645 for a total amount not to exceed $106,895.
DISCUSSION
The Santa Ana Police Department Career Criminal Unit issues portable radios
to investigators for use in the performance of their duties. At times,
these duties require investigators to travel outside the city limits. Due
to the limited range of reception of the radios currently used,
investigators often lose radio communication with one another. The
Motorola XTL5000 mobile radios will enhance the investigators' ability to
maintain radio communication with dispatch and each other while conducting
investigations that involve statewide travel.
The County of Orange recently renewed the contract with Motorola for the
operational requirements established by the 800 MHz Countywide Coordinated
Communications System (800 MHz CCCS). The 800 MHz CCCS radio system
provides effective and reliable radio communication to participating law
enforcement, fire services, EMS and disaster preparedness agencies. In
order to maintain the integrity of the communications system, staff
recommends Council approval of the recommended action. Along with the
funds to purchase eight radios, an additional contingency amount has been
added to allow for unanticipated purchases.
FISCAL IMPACT
Funds are available in the Supplemental Law Enforcement Services Fund
Operating Materials & Supplies account (account no. 128-349-6391).
