APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Purchasing Agent to execute, on behalf of the Sheriff-Coroner, a purchase order
with Rotocraft Support, Inc. in an amount not to exceed $135,200 for the purchase and installation of radios in both
Sheriff's Office helicopters. (100% Law Enforcement Capital Projects Fund)
FISCAL IMPACT:
$135,200. 100% Law Enforcement Capital Projects-Communications (Fund 105600).
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.
