Background
The City is in the process of upgrading our 800 Mhz communication system from
analog communication to digital communication. The upgrade will enhance
communications and provide for enhanced transmission of data to public safety
personnel in the field. A critical component of this system is the ASTRO P25
switching equipment. The switching equipment is necessary to transmit digital
date through the communication system to field personnel and to enable the
transition of analog to digital communications.
Motorola has maintained the equipment since July 1, 2012 when the equipment's
warranty expired. Invoicing for the annual maintenance was delayed in being
process by Motorola and by the City as a result of the other 800 Mhz
installations being conducted.
Analysis
The annual maintenance agreement provides for onsite infrastructure response
services, technical support, network monitoring services and equipment repair
and replacement services. As a critical component of the City's communication
system, it is essential this equipment be monitored and repaired in a timely
manner as a matter of public safety. The annual maitenance agreement will be
included in the FY 2014 budget request.
Financial Considerations
The services agreement expanse of $63,984 will be charged to the E911 fund.
Projected Annual Fiscal Impact Statement
As an annual maintenance contract this will be an annual expense.
Legal Considerations
