SUMMARY:
It is requested that the Board authorize the Contracts/Purchasing Officer or Contracts Purchasing Supervisor to sign a non-standard Agreement with Motorola Solutions, Inc, and to issue purchase orders on an “as needed” basis, in the aggregate amount not to exceed $199,000.00, over the period of December 1, 2017 through December 31, 2024. The Investigative Bureau for the District Attorney requires 36 new hand held digital radios to support its investigators in the execution of their duties.
DISCUSSION:
The Investigation Bureau for the Office of the District Attorney requires portable radios that are able to fully utilize the current Monterey County radio infrastructure to support their law enforcement operations within the county. Current radios are incapable of functioning at a minimum safe level in numerous locations within the county; the improved multi-band functionality will allow investigators to communicate in any area within the county, thereby improving officer safety. Several relevant improvements provided by these new radios include:
a. Improved connectivity and operability in the field
b. Improved sound quality
c. Multi-band vs analog single-band
d. Improved technology from existing radios
e. Better ergonomic feel for the operators
f. Decreased maintenance issues from current radios
The proposed Agreement is non-standard for the County, but is based upon the Vendor’s standard agreement and leasing terms.
This proposed agreement provides these state of the art multi-band radios to the District Attorney from 1 December 2017 through 31 December 2024. After the submission of a fully executed Exhibit E to Motorola Solutions, Inc, the final version of Exhibit D will be prepared by Motorola Solutions, Inc. and completed as authorized herein.
OTHER AGENCY INVOLVEMENT:
The Agreement was not approved by the Risk Management division of County Counsel, due to the insurance information not be provided by Motorola. County Counsel has approved the agreement as to form. Auditor/Controller has approved the agreement as to form.
FINANCING:
Funding is not required until next fiscal year, for the first installment of the leasing payments. First payment amount of approximately $28,377.83 is due in FY 2018-19 and has not yet been appropriated. The cost of the agreement will be included in the FY 2018-19 budget development process.
BOARD OF SUPERVISORS STRATEGIC INITIATIVES:
The increased functionality will allow investigators to communicate in any area within the county, thereby increasing both the officers and public safety.
