Title
Six-Year Renewal of the Service Agreement for the Motorola System Upgrade Agreement (SUA) for the Communications Department (Sole Source) (Citywide)
The SUA renewal will continue providing software upgrades every two years, upgrading of the radio network core hardware to support the software upgrades, and technical support services. This keeps the network current for technical support with Motorola and will also keep the TOPAZ Regional Wireless Cooperative (TRWC) in step with the Phoenix Regional Wireless Cooperative (RWC).
The existing SUA does not expire until June 30, 2017. The Communications Department has requested renewal at this time to allow certainty in budgeting for the TRWC members, including the City of Mesa; to save money (the renewal is about $115,000 less per year than the current SUA); and demonstrate the commitment to keep the TRWC in step with the RWC.
The Communications Department and Purchasing recommend authorizing a six-year renewal of the Service Agreement with the sole source vendor, Motorola, Inc., at $3,314,559, plus applicable taxes, based on estimated requirements.
