APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Purchasing Agent to execute a purchase order on behalf
of the Sheriff-Coroner with Motorola Inc. not to exceed $599,697 for six dispatch consoles
and related back-up equipment for the East Bay Regional Communication System.
FISCAL IMPACT:
FY 09-10 budgeted expenditure. 100% Public Safety Interoperable Communications (PSIC)
federal homeland security grant funding through the California Emergency Management
Agency and administered through the City and County of San Francisco.
BACKGROUND:
The request of $599,697 is the for the purchase and installation of six dispatch consoles and
related back-up equipment needed for the continued build-out the East Bay Regional
Communication System. The consoles are integral to providing the best voice
communication performance with the existing infrastructure. The key to the interoperability
project is that every component must be 100% compatible. The existing system can not be
expanded with another vendor's product and it is this fact that serves as the primary
justification for doing business with Motorola,
