Resolution Overview
AGENDA DATE: October 17, 2023
BACKGROUND: I contacted the only companies in our area that can tie an
indoor radio repeater system to our existing radio system to extend coverage.
Since our building renovation, radio communication in the detention and
property areas has diminished, so they can no longer communicate with
dispatch. This system extends the signal from those areas to connect with our
tower and back to dispatch. I contacted Ka -Comm, a Harris communications
company, and Commenco, which deals with Motorola. Only Ka -Comm
responded with a quote to design and install the system. This was not a budget
item for FY 23-24; however, it is a significant safety concern that needs to be
corrected.The cost of the system is $13,366. 1 am requesting a resolution for the
October 17th board meeting for the purchase of this system, not to exceed
$14,700. 1 am allowing ten percent for incidentals and potential parts that could
not be seen during the walk-through in our ceiling.
BUDGETARY IMPACT: $14,700
