RE: AUTHORIZATION FOR PURCHASE AND INSTALLATION OF RADIO
RELATED EQUIPMENT FOR FIRE STATIONS NUMBER THREE AND
FOUR.
As you are aware, the City has under construction two new Fire Stations which are referred to as
Station's Number Three and Four respectively. One of the items or services not being required
from the General Contractor, Priority One Construction, is to provide and install some necessary
related radio equipment in both of the stations. This particular equipment which consists of
speakers, amplifiers, wiring, equipment racks, and related connections interfaces with the
existing Motorola radio equipment and performs the function of alerting station personnel of a
pending emergency call from the Communications Center. A local vendor, Wireless Technology
Equipment Company, Inc. (WTEC), has been the only authorized company to service all of
Motorola's service contracts in the area. This vendor is also the only one that performs all
repairs for the radio and related equipment.
The total cost for the equipment with installation for both of the new stations will be $10,293.00.
The funds for this service will be paid from Impact Fees assigned to the two respective districts
that the new Fire Stations are in. Please review the attached memorandums from Chief Ron
Strosnider, Fire Chief, and Richard Firstner, Assistant Fire Chief,justifying the reason for using
WTEC for this service. Since WTEC will honor servicing of all the needed additional equipment
under the Motorola Service Contract and is the authorized provider for servicing of Motorola's
equipment, I agree that it would be sensible to use WTEC and to consider them as a proprietary
sole source.
ACTION REQUESTED
The Honorable Mayor and Board of City Commissioners authorize WTEC to provide and install
radio related equipment for Fire Station's Number Three and Four in the amount of$10,293.00.

MEMORANDUM

From: Richard Firstner, Assistant Fire Chief
Date: August 27, 1997
Re: INSTALLATION OF RADIO RELATED EQUIPMENT
With the construction of Fire Station Three (Maguire Rd.) and Fire Station Four
(Clarke Rd.) alarm and notification equipment is required to be purchased for both
stations. This equipment interfaces with existing radio equipment, and performs the
function of alerting station personnel of a pending emergency call from the
Communications Center.
The recommended provider of the equipment, Wireless Technology Equipment
Company (WTEC) is the only authorized company to sell and service Motorola radio
equipment. The Fire Department is currently serviced by WTEC for all radio
equipment under the Motorola Service Contract.
Although some of the equipment requested is over-the-counter merchandise, we
recommend that WTEC Inc. be considered as a sole source provider of this
equipment to maintain continuity with the current service contract.
We request that this issue be expedited to accommodate the General Contractor on
both job sites.

equipment under the service contract. It is prudent that we purchase the equipment and installation from
WTEC,Motorola.
