RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Purchasing Agent to execute, on behalf of the Fire Chief, a purchase order with Motorola, Inc., in care of Red Cloud Inc., in an amount not to exceed $120,000 for the purchase of fourteen (14) trunking portable radios and accessories.

FISCAL IMPACT:

Budgeted; 100% Special District General Operating Fund.

BACKGROUND:

The Contra Costa County Fire Protection District (District) maintains a cache of mobile and portable radio equipment for personnel responding to medical and fire emergencies. The radios serve to maintain communications with District personnel and also other public safety agencies operating on both the East Bay Regional Communications System (EBRCS) and conventional VHF channels. The District periodically purchases radios to replace lost or damaged equipment and to ensure an adequate supply is available for District personnel. This purchase of fourteen (14) trunking portable radios and accessories supports the District's unit replacement plan.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

The District will not be able to replenish its cache of EBRCS-compatible portable radios.
