HomeMy WebLinkAboutMINUTES - 01222013 - C.17RECOMMENDATION(S):
APPROVE Appropriations and Revenue Adjustment No. 5050 authorizing new revenue in the amount of $45,700
from Law Enforcement Capital Projects-Communications (0129) and appropriating it to the Sheriff's Office (0255)
for the purchase and installation of two P2000 FM transceiver systems in each of the Sheriff's helicopters.
FISCAL IMPACT:
This action increases revenue and expenditures by $45,700 with no change to net County cost.
BACKGROUND:
With the CCC Office of the Sheriff switching over to the new 800 MHz radio system, it has become necessary to
purchase new radios and have them professionally installed in our helicopters by an FAA certified Avionics
Specialist. Rotocraft Support, Inc. is currently providing aircraft maintenance services for the Sheriff's Office two
helicopters. The Sheriff's Office is purchasing two radios to comply with the 800 mhz system. The radios are a
special brand product that Rotocraft Support, Inc specializes in and they are a recommended provider of the
Technisonic Radios compatible with our current radio system. The helicopters both need to be taken to Rotocraft
Support, Inc. for updating logs, recertifying the Night Vision certification and rebuilding the aircraft panel. Having
the radios purchased and installed in the same location as the maintenance will save the County a considerable
amount of money.
