RECOMMENDATION(S):

Approve and authorize the Purchasing Agent, on behalf of the Health Services Department, to execute a Purchase Order with Motorola Solutions, Inc. in an amount not to exceed $204,889 for twenty-two 800 MHz radios for the Hazardous Materials Response Team.

FISCAL IMPACT:

71% of the total costs will be paid by the State Homeland Security Grant Program FY15/16 and 29% by an enforcement settlement.

BACKGROUND:

The fire and law enforcement agencies in Contra Costa and Alameda Counties communicate on the 800 MHz radio frequency. The Health Services Hazardous Materials Response Team is the primary hazardous materials response team that responds throughout the County. The team currently communicates using 440 MHz frequency radios and when at an incident borrows an 800 MHz radio if available, to communicate with the other responding agencies. The purchase of these radios will allow the Hazardous Materials Response Team to communicate with other responding agencies when responding to an incident, and at the incident.

BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)

This Board Order will allow for the purchase of twenty-two hand-held radios with accessories that will be identical to the Contra Costa Fire Protection District radios.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If this Purchase Order is not approved the communications during a hazardous materials incident may be hampered, the impact to the public may increase, and the potential of injury to emergency responders may increase.

CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:

Not applicable.
