Title
Dollar-Limit Increase to the Four-Year Service Agreement for the Motorola System Upgrade Assurance Plan for the Communications Department (Sole Source) (Citywide)
The City is adding infrastructure, Dynamic Site Resiliency (backup master and prime site) to the TOPAZ Voice Radio Network as part of the lifecycle upgrade, approved by Council on October 6, 2014. This will result in an increase to the support contract with Motorola.
Communications and Purchasing recommend authorizing a dollar-limit of $218,657.00 to Motorola, Inc., increasing the contract from $2,109,388.00 to 2,328,045.00, plus applicable taxes. The cost will be shared by the members of the TOPAZ Regional Wireless Cooperative, City of Apache Junction, Town of Gilbert, City of Mesa, Southwest Ambulance, Superstition Fire and Medical District, Town of Queen Creek, and the Rio Verde Fire District, based on a 6-month rolling average of the radio airtime used by each member. Currently, the City utilizes approximately 75% of the radio airtime.
