Model 7500, Stump Grinder, from J. P. Carlton Co., (Spartanburg, SC) in the

amount of $33,750.00.

right-of-ways and other City properties. This is new equipment approved in the

FY12 Budget.

Georgia Procurement Registry. Four bids were received on December 14, 2011.

This bid has been advertised, opened and reviewed. The bidders were:

Mason Tractor Company (McDonough, GA) 2011 Bandit / 3200TOW $34,706.90

Vermeer Southeast (Marietta, GA) Vermeer SC802 $36,705.00



This item is not available on Georgia Statewide Contract.



Funds are budgeted in the FY12 Budget: Paving Fund ? Public Services ?

Right-of-Way Maintenance ? Rolling Stock; 0203 ? 260 ? 3120 ? ROWM ? 7726.



(B) DONATION/PAYMENT TO UNITED WAY



It is requested that Council authorize payment to United Way in the amount of

$350.00, which was received as a donation, to the City, from Our Lady of Rose

Hill Ministries, Inc.



The donation was earmarked to be used for the City?s program to eliminate

homelessness in ten years. Therefore, payment is requested to United Way, who

is the City?s Homeless agency.



* * * * * * * * * *



(C) FOUR CHANNEL UPGRADE/EXPANSION FOR THE HIGH SPEED MOBILE DATA SYSTEM



It is requested that Council approve the purchase of a four channel

upgrade/expansion of the City?s high speed mobile data system from Motorola

(Shaumburg, IL) in the amount of $286,284.00.



The City operates a mobile data system that supports computer services to the

vehicles of the Public Safety Departments. This system has been operating for

more than 10 years and currently consists of two legacy channels operating at a

low speed/smaller bandwidth and two channels operating at a high speed/high

capacity bandwidth. While spare parts and service remains available for the

legacy system, it could not be expanded beyond its current two channels because

it is no longer manufactured and the City can no longer obtain the radio modems

that work on the low speed system. This, along with the need to increase our

bandwidth availability led to the acquisition of the first two high-speed

channels two years ago. The loading on the mobile data system continues to

grow as the Public Safety Departments add additional functionality and software

to their computers in the effort to increase their efficiency in delivering

public safety services. This necessitates that the City expand the capacity of

its mobile data system to the maximum allowed by its licensing with the FCC.

This upgrade/expansion will consist of replacing the low speed infrastructure

on the first two channels with high-speed infrastructure and equipping an

additional two channels for operation on the high-speed system. This will

provide the City with a total of six channels of current technology mobile data

capacity.



Motorola is the only known source provider for the upgrade/expansion, because

the City?s current Mobile Data System is provided by Motorola.



Funds are budgeted in the FY12 Budget: Special Projects Capital Project Fund ?

General Fund Supported Capital Projects ? Computer Equipment ? High Performance

Data System Project; 0508-660-1000-CPGF-7732-22265-20090

* * * * * * * *



(D) HIGH SPEED MOBILE DATA MODEMS FOR PUBLIC SAFETY VEHICLES



It is requested that Council approve the purchase of Two Hundred Eighty Seven

(287) High Speed Mobile Data Modems (Model Number HPD1000) from Motorola

(Shaumburg, IL), in the amount of $590,072.00



The City operates a mobile data system that supports computer services to the

vehicles of the Public Safety Departments. This system has been operating for

more than 10 years and currently consists of two legacy channels operating at a

low speed/smaller bandwidth and two channels operating at a high speed/high

capacity bandwidth. There are currently 287 public safety vehicles (Police,

Fire, Sheriff and Marshal) that are equipped with low speed modems and

operating on the low speed side of the system. The loading on the mobile data

system continues to grow as the Public Safety Departments add additional

functionality and software to their computers in the effort to increase their

efficiency in delivering public safety services. This necessitates that the

City expand the capacity of its mobile data system to the maximum allowed by

its licensing with the FCC. This upgrade/expansion will consist of replacing

the low speed infrastructure on the first two channels with high-speed

infrastructure and equipping an additional two channels for operation on the

high-speed system. This will provide the City with a total of six channels of

current technology mobile data capacity. When this system upgrade is complete

all of the 287 public safety vehicles that are currently equipped with low

speed modems will need those modems replaced with a modem that will operate on

the high-speed system. The modems, associated software, engineering services

and installation cost $2,056.00 each.



Motorola is the only known source provider for these high-speed modems, because

the equipment must be compatible with the City?s current Mobile Data System

provided by Motorola.



Funds are budgeted in the FY12 Budget: Special Projects Capital Project Fund ?

General Fund Supported Capital Projects ? Computer Equipment ? High Performance

Data System Project; 0508-660-1000-CPGF-7732-22265-20090

308DCRSBQ hydraulic excavator via National Joint Powers Alliance (NJPA)

Contract #060311-CAT, from Yancey Brothers Caterpillar (Fortson, GA) in the

amount of $107,940.00.



The hydraulic excavator is a new unit and will be used by the Rainwater

Division of the Public Services Department. The equipment will be used to

remove dirt and debris from City holding ponds and watersheds to prevent

build-up of materials, which block the water flow.



The purchase will be accomplished via Request for Proposal (RFP) #060311,

initiated by the National Joint Powers Alliance (NJPA), whereby Caterpillar,

Inc., was one of the successful vendors contracted to provide Heavy

Construction Equipment Together With Related Accessories, Supplies, and

Services. The contract, which commenced July 19, 2011, is good through July

19, 2015. The National Joint Powers Alliance is a Service Cooperative created

by Minnesota Statute 123A.21. This statute was created in 1978 and revised in

1995 to allow participating governmental and municipal agencies to reduce the

cost of purchased goods by leveraging their combined purchasing power. The

NJPA bid process meets the Procurement Ordinance requirements for Columbus

Consolidated Government.



Three manufacturers, Caterpillar, John Deere Construction Retail Sales, and CNH

America LLC, were awarded NJPA contracts for the specified equipment. Two

local vendors representing two of these manufacturers, Yancey Brothers

(Caterpillar) and Flint Equipment Company (John Deere Construction Retail

Sales) were contacted to provide quotes on the equipment. Flint Equipment

Company (Columbus, GA) failed to provide a quote within the specified timeframe.

#233-96.



This phase of upgrade and expansion will involve two parts:



-Part one will be developing imaging interfacing to the Sheriff's web site to

EMERGENCY PURCHASE ? INFORMATION ONLY



WATER DAMAGE AT GALLOPS SENIOR CENTER:



During the New Year's holiday weekend, a water line connected to a dishwasher

burst at the Gallops Senior Center located at 1212 15th Street. The busted

water line continued to flow until turned off by staff on Tuesday morning

(1/3/2012). There was significant water damage to the facility including

floor covering, sheetrock, and cabinets. The damaged areas include the large

assembly room and main entrance. The City?s insurance agent, J. Smith Lanier,

and insurance carrier, Travelers Insurance, were immediately notified of the

damage. In order to expedite drying of the facility, J. Smith Lanier engaged

SERVPRO, a disaster mitigation company, on behalf of the City to begin water

extraction and drying. On Wednesday (1/4/2012) an adjustor from Travelers

Insurance was on site to assess the damage. The estimated cost of repairs to

include flooring tile, carpet, sheetrock replacement, cabinets, water

extraction and drying is approximately $75,000. The City?s deductible for

insurance coverage is $50,000 per occurrence. J. Smith Lanier has offered to

engage a local contractor to immediately begin repairs to the facility as soon

as the drying process is complete. This approach will return the facility to

normal activities in the most timely manner possible. Upon completion of the

work the City will reimburse J. Smith Lanier for the cost of repairs up to the

deductible amount of $50,000. City Manager approved the emergency repairs on

January 4, 2012.
