Title
Motorola Regional Wireless Cooperative Service Agreement - RFA 16-130A (Ordinance S-43364)
Description
Request to authorize the City Manager, or his designee, to allow additional expenditures under Contract 142345 with Motorola Solutions, Inc., for the purchase of additional dispatch console support services. The additional requested funds will not exceed $456,500 over the remaining contract term. Further request authorization for the City Controller to disburse all funds related to this item.
Report
The additional funds are necessary to cover factory support required for dispatch consoles which support the Aviation, Police and Fire departments. The consoles are manufactured by Motorola and third-party vendors cannot provide these services, which include firmware/software and patching updates for the consoles, which provide mission-critical communications to field officers and personnel. Failure to maintain the consoles will cause equipment outages which will significantly impact public safety.
Financial Impact
Upon approval of $456,500 in additional funds, the revised aggregate value of the contract will not exceed $10,428,590 for the remainder of the contract term through March 31, 2021. Funds are available in the Information Technology Services Department budget.
