Maim, Interim City Manager SUBJECT: Change Order No. 2 to the Motorola Radio System Upgrade PURPOSE The purpose of this memorandum is to provide the Mayor and members of the City Council with information to consider Change Order No. 2 to the Motorola radio system contract. BACKGROUND During design of the City's new 800 Mhz trunked radio system, one design issue was signal coverage in uniquely (heavily secured) constructed buildings such as hospitals and in the law enforcement building itself. Reliable communication within the building is necessary to ensure communication between officers, the availability of officers, the supervi- sion by commanders, and the safety of officers within the building. During construction of the building, prices were sought to place amplifiers throughout the building to enhance radio reception. Based upon these initial quotations and the need to fully analyze what areas are affected, the recommendation was to wait for occupancy before completing the work. With the move of the Police Department into the new building and the switch over to the new radio system substantially complete, interior areas of the ground floor and the jail are experiencing week reception. Motorola has surveyed the issue and has recommended an amplification upgrade at a much small- er scale then originally considered. Motorola has bid $33,000 to provide coverage for the entire building, includ- ing the below-round areas of the building. The upgrade pro- vides the needed radio signal coverage. Motorola Radio System Upgrade November 13, 1996 Page 2 The amplification upgrades proposed to be required are compat- ible with the City's coded 800 MHz system. This particular equipment is available only from Motorola and the change order has therefore been approached on a sole source procure- ment basis. Work is planned to be completed within four to six weeks . COMMUNITY GROUPS/INTERESTED PERSONS CONTACTED The City-wide radio committee has discussed this proposal and concurs with the recommendation. FINANCIAL IMPACT Sufficient funds exist from the communication system project to accommodate this change. Account number 220-0000-791.92-47, project number 239501, E-911 communica- tions equipment,would be charged. LEGAL IMPACT None. ALTERNATIVES None. RECOMMENDATION It is recommended that the City Council authorize Change Order No. 2 with Motorola. Respectfully submitted, Charles A. Gruber Chief of Police C2Ovet—ThRo.ert .
