RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Purchasing Agent to execute, on behalf of the Sheriff-Coroner as fiscal agent for the City of Pittsburg, a purchase order with Motorola in the amount of $623,480 for East Bay Regional Communications System compliant radio equipment.

FISCAL IMPACT:

$623,480 funded by City of Pittsburg contributions to the County's Law Enforcement Capital Projects Fund 105600. No net County cost.

BACKGROUND:

The Sheriff's Office has used Motorola for their communications system (Dispatch and Field Operations) for over 20 years. The Pittsburg Police Department receives their dispatch communication services from the Sheriff's Office Communications Center, and to maintain continuity of this operational relationship, Motorola is the optimal choice for related communications equipment. Motorola has been selected in the past because of reliability and ease of maintenance. Because of the proprietary nature of this equipment, Pittsburg PD chose to purchase Motorola communications equipment as an extension of the EBRCS P25 digital communication project. The new APX 7000 handheld radio is required for the P25 Interoperable radio system currently being installed through the County.
