Description
For $18,000 in payment authority to purchase annual mobile and portable satellite telephone service for Arizona Task Force 1 (AZ-TF1) for the Special Operations Section for the Fire Department. Both sponsored and managed by the Special Operations Section, AZ-TF1 remains in a constant state of readiness for rapid deployment as a Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) Urban Search and Rescue (US&R) response team. To remain a deployable asset, it is a FEMA US&R requirement to maintain telephone service with a push-to-talk mobile satellite system. FEMA US&R designates the talk-groups utilized with this system, and each group requires access to designated private radio frequencies only accessible to the federal government. This purchase will cover the required telephone service and private radio frequency access for approximately one year. Funding is available through the FEMA US&R Federal Grant.
