RE: Approve Purchase of Portable Radios from Motorola Solutions Inc. for Police and Fire
Department ($1,761,437.70)
BACKGROUND
The current Motorola radios used by our Police and Fire Departments are over 10 years old and are no
longer being updated or supported by Motorola. This memo addresses the procurement of new radios
using cooperative purchasing contracts. This procurement will replace an estimated 142 radios for the
Police Department and 32 radios for the Fire Department.
ANALYSIS
Purchasing has confirmed Motorola Solutions holds the State of Wisconsin Department of
Administration contract (#505ENT-O16-SAFETYCOMM-05) for public safety communication
equipment. Purchasing also confirmed that additional Motorola discounts can be realized with the
Wisconsin Counties Association (WCA) State Contract #24752 for these radios. The Motorola Solutions
quotes received by Purchasing reflect the discounts from both cooperative contracts. The deadline to
utilize these savings is December 15, 2021.
FISCAL IMPACT
The fiscal impact for the Police Department radios is $1,115,119.28. The fiscal impact for the Fire
Department radios is $646,318.55. The total fiscal impact for both departments is $1,761,437.70. The
Police radios would be charged to A/N#: 02240211 7212 15231 (Radios- Police Radios) and 02240230 7212
15231 (Radios- Fire Radios).
RECOMMENDATION
Section 12-15 of the Municipal Code provides that subject to approval of the City Manager, cooperative
purchases pursuant to a contract with any other local, state or federal governmental unit or agency may
be made without following a competitive bidding or quotation process. In accordance with Section 12-
15 of the Municipal Code and with approval by the City Manager, Purchasing recommends the Common
Council approve this purchase pursuant to the cooperative contracts listed above to Motorola Solutions
Inc., 1309 E Algonquin Road, Schaumberg, IL 60196 for $1,761,437.70.
Respectfully Submitted, Approved:
Jon G. Urben, General Services Manager Mark Rohloff, City Manager
