DISCUSSION
The City of Santa Ana utilizes cellular equipment and services for field
personnel and for staff required to respond to immediate or emergency
situations. Verizon Wireless provides a variety of analog and digital
cellular equipment and services designed to meet the requirements of
various 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.
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,
at a substantial discount from the list price.
