This project will purchase a mobile radio to be installed in the Emergency Management Vehicle as well as a portable
radio. Both radios are compatible with the Citywide Radio System as weil as surrounding jurisdiction frequencies.
Pursuant to NRO § 5-84 (A) (5), these items will be purchased from Motorola Solutions who installed the current
citywide trunked radio system. These two radios will be maintained in house by the Citywide Communications
Division and contain a three year warranty.
Funding for this project will come from a Department of Homeland Security Grant accepted by the Board of
Aldermen on May 24th, 2016. A 50% local match was required and is provided through an “in-kind” match through
the value of the vehicle.
The Citywide Communications Division and this Office recommend the award of this purchase in the amount of
$11,997.20 to Motorola Solutions of Montvale, NJ.
Thank You,
