Explanation:
The Department of Information Technology desires to purchase various Motorola equipment and software licenses to include but not limited to portable and mobile radios with related accessories and computer aided dispatch system licenses.
On September 18, 2013, the City Commission passed and adopted Resolution No. R-2013-263, which authorized the execution of the Regional Interlocal Agreement (“ILA”) with Broward County Providing for Cooperative Participation in a Regional Public Safety Intranet (“Participation Agreement”). The first amendment to this ILA was authorized by the Commission on August 26th, 2020, through R-2020-188. This had an effective date of January 1st, 2021, with a five-year term ending January 1st, 2026, unless terminated.
The Information Technology Department is requesting a Blanket Purchase Agreement in the amount of $500,000.00 for a period of 12 months. This will cover the cost of additional radio equipment and annual software subscriptions. Current requests for equipment total approximately $350,000.00. A portion of the new equipment will be used on the new radio tower at the new police headquarters. It will also cover the cost of ongoing annual subscriptions for the PremierOne computer aided dispatch (“CAD”) system. CAD licenses are required for police officers to communicate with the Broward County Regional Public Safety Intranet.
The requested radio equipment and maintenance is only available through Motorola Solutions Inc., and historically provides a greater pricing discount than piggy-back contracts when purchased directly from Motorola versus resellers.
Motorola continues to be the standard equipment manufacturer used by the County and required for compatibility and participation in the Regional Public Safety Intranet.
Fiscal Impact:
Funding for this Purchase Order is available in the FY 2025 Operating Budget in account numbers 557.130101.51900.546340.000000.000.000, 557.130101.51900.546341.000000.000.000, 557.130101.51900.552150.000000.000.000 and 557.130101.51900.564410.000000.000.000
This purchase order is for Citywide usage and additional funding will be identified on an as needed basis by each respective department subject to available funds.
