expired, been covered by a comprehensive 24/7/365 maintenance agreement with

Motorola in order to assure rapid and accurate repairs and minimal down time.

This maintenance agreement also covers the bi-directional amplification system

that provides a back up to the console system and allows the 911 Center to

continue to operate should the console equipment stop working. This

Maintenance Agreement will insure that the City receives complete and cost

effective support of this equipment and allows the City to control the

operating costs associated with the console equipment.



The E911 Radio System and its various components were originally purchased from
