ISSUE
Should Council approve an agreement to acquire and install electronic radio
equipment for a radio tower that will be constructed as part of the City's 700/800
MHz Radio Network project?
RECOMMENDATION
Approval of this Resolution
BACKGROUND
The Agreement would provide for the acquisition and installation of electronic
radio equipment for the radio tower site the City is constructing at the City's
Jackson Hill radio tower site, 5670 West Highway 78. Council approved a
contract to begin construction of the tower structure and equipment building, but
not the electronic radio equipment, on July 9, 2007 (Resolution 11049). This
agreement would allow the completion of the tower facility. The contractor,
Motorola Inc., is the sole provider of electronic radio tower equipment compatible
with the State of Colorado's Digital Trunked Radio System.
FINANCIAL IMPACT
The electronic radio components would be acquired and installed at a cost not to
exceed $390,000. Funds from a lease purchase agreement will be available in
project CP0704.
