3 Resolution Overview
OFFICER
AGENDA DATE: July 5, 2023
BACKGROUND: This request is to purchase two pieces of equipment for our radio
system infrastructure. Our system was initially constructed in 2009-2010 and
operational in 2011. As one would expect, technology has dramatically improved in the
last 12-plus years. During that time, we have not had to significantly upgrade the
equipment until now. The first piece of equipment is called a Service Aggregation
Router-8, or what we call a SAR, which will convert most communication lines over to
the ethernet and handle the larger capacity of information being passed. The second
device, called an encryption key loader, gives us the capability to load encryption
information onto our system so our mobile and portable radios function correctly. The
funds for this request were approved in the 2023-2024 fiscal budget and will be
purchased through the Missouri State Contract.
BUDGETARY IMPACT: $105,857
