Explanation:
The Department of Information Technology (“DIT”) desires to purchase various Motorola equipment and software licenses to include but not be 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.
DIT is requesting to execute an Agreement with Motorola Solutions, Inc. for the purchase of various Motorola equipment in an amount up to $500,000.00 for a period of 12 months. This will cover the cost of additional radio equipment and annual hardware maintenance. Current requests for equipment total approximately $300,000.00. A portion of the new equipment will be used on the new radio tower at the new police headquarters.
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.
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:
A portion of the funding for the Agreement will be made available in the FY 2026 Operating Budget in account numbers 557.130101.51900.546340.000000.000.000, 557.130101.51900.552150.000000.000.000 and 557.139902.51900.564410.001731.000.000 and will be budgeted in subsequent fiscal years’ operating budgets subject to approval and adoption by the City Commission.
This approval is for Citywide usage and additional funding will be identified on an as needed basis by each respective department subject to available funds.
