ACTION REQUESTED:
Authorize the County Manager to approve Purchase Order in the amount of $151,856 to Motorola for the purchase and installation of a new microwave path offered on Houston-Galveston Area Council Purchasing Cooperative Contract (HGAC) RA05-21.
BACKGROUND:
The Union County Board of Commissioners approved a 911 Grant Agreement on October 19, 2020 and adopted Special Revenue Ordinance (SRO) #49. In conjunction with this approval, the Emergency Communications Department has begun the process of procuring the equipment authorized in the grant application.
With the addition of a new Emergency Services Facility on Concord Ave, Union County Emergency Communications will require a new microwave path between the new facility and the prime site tower located at the Union County Sheriff’s Office to provide connectivity to the existing simulcast radio network.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
$125,000 to be funded from 911 Grant Fund and $26,856 from the building CIP for expenses which exceed the 911 Grant amount awarded.
