HomeMy WebLinkAboutMINUTES - 06212011 - C.25RECOMMENDATION(S):
Approve Appropriations and Revenue Adjustment No. 5045 authorizing revenue in the
amount of $332,000 from the 2007 Public Safety Interoperable Communications (PSIC)
grant and appropriating it for the purchase of communications equipment.
FISCAL IMPACT:
This action increases revenue and appropriations by $332,000. There is no change in net
County cost.
BACKGROUND:
The 2007 PSIC Grant will fund the purchase and installation of dispatch consoles and
related back-up equipment needed for the continued build-out of the East Bay Regional
Communication System (EBRCS). 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 cannot be
expanded with another vendor's product and it is this fact that serves as the primary
justification for doing business with Motorola. The decision to proceed with Motorola is
supported by the East Bay Regional Communication System Authority
