Purchase of Dispatch Base Station Radio Equipment (Replacement) (Citywide)
These radios are primarily used for mission-critical, two-way communications as emergency backup stations when infrastructure is off-line or during periods of network outages. This project will replace the existing twenty-one base station radios and antennas located at the dispatch building. The current equipment is eighteen years old, it does not support multiple encryption keys, and is no longer supported by the manufacturer.
City staff recommends authorizing the purchase using the State of Arizona cooperative contract with Motorola Solutions, Inc., at $433,000, based on estimated requirements. This purchase is funded by Public Safety Sales Tax.
