RE: Police Mobile Radio Purchase
ISSUE
Should the Honorable Mayor and Board of City Commissioners approve the purchase of five (5)
Motorola Astro Digital XTL 5000 Mobile Radios.
BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION
The FY 2003/2004 CIP budget, approved by the Mayor and City Commission, contained
$20,000 for the purchase of five (5) Mobile Radios. These radios are being purchased for use in
five new police vehicles already on order.
In order to maintain compatibility and interoperability with Motorola radios currently utilized by
the rest of our police fleet and the Orange County radio users group, Motorola radios must be
purchased. Motorola is a sole source provider for these radios and offers only the Orange County
contract pricing ($3650 each or$18,253 for all five radios) locally.
RECOMMENDATION
It is respectfully recommended that the Honorable Mayor and Board of City Commissioners
authorize staff to purchase the five (5) Motorola Astro Mobile Radios from Motorola by
piggybacking off the Orange County contract.
