Title

Amendment and Dollar-Limit Increase to the Motorola Service Agreement for the TOPAZ Regional Wireless Cooperative Network for Additional Lifecycle Services as requested by the Information Technology Department - Communications and Infrastructure (Sole Source) (Citywide)

Motorola is offering additional lifecycle services to improve the security and reliability of the TOPAZ networks.  These include security and network monitoring services, which are more comprehensive than the City can provide, bringing the radio dispatch consoles at all TRWC member dispatch facilities under one contract to improve security, upgrades, and problem resolution.  These expanded services provide for Motorola to be the first responder to network and console problems instead of City personnel.  This amendment provides services for the Fire Hazard Zone Communications System (Fire VHF), which was added to the TRWC’s portfolio at the request of the TRWC Users Group in 2014.  This network is planned to be ready for use by July 1, 2017.  The services provided by this amendment include software and hardware upgrade services similar of the 7/800 MHz P25 network, and after the expiration of the Motorola one-year warranty, security and network monitoring and first responder services by Motorola for the Fire VHF network.

The Information Technology Department and Purchasing recommend authorizing the amendment and dollar-limit increase of $3,119,976 with the sole source vendor, Motorola Solutions Inc. (Motorola), increasing the contract amount from $3,314,559 to $6,434,535, plus applicable taxes for the six-year term contract from July 1, 2017 to June 30, 2023, based on estimated requirements.
