WAIVE BIDS FOR PURCHASE OF PORTABLE RADIOS
The Oshkosh Police Department has received a $193,000 grant from the Justice Assistance Buffer
Zone Protection Plan Program. This grant will allow the Police Department to upgrade their inventory
of portable radios in anticipation of upcoming changes to the Winnebago County Communications
Center system in 2013. The FoxComm Group (consisting of Winnebago, Outagamie and Calumet
County agencies) have determined that the current radio system does not meet the 2013 FCC
mandated - requirements, and would prefer to implement a new digital technology that will eliminate
the dead spots and other issues that emergency personnel have had with loss of communication.
The Police Department is seeking the Motorola APX7000 portable radio as it is a dual -band radio that
is compatible with the current radio system and with any of the future digital system options being
explored by the Winnebago County Sheriff's Office (WISO) and FoxComm. These same radios have
also been purchased by WISO in anticipation of the system upgrades. WISO deputies and Oshkosh
Police Department personnel have tested these radios and found them to meet the needs of law
enforcement.
The Motorola APX7000 radio is on state contract. In addition, Motorola offered a $400 /radio
incentive discount that expired on October 2, 2010. By purchasing these radios under state contract,
and utilizing the incentive discount offer, the grant provided for 65 APX7000 dual band radios at an
approximate cost of $192,088. There were no city costs associated with this purchase.
Section 12 -10 (D) (3) of the Municipal Code (purchases pursuant to a contract with any other local,
state or federal governmental unit or agency), and Section 12 -10 (D) (1) of the Code (when
standardization or compatibility is the overriding consideration), may be approved by the City
Manager without the use of formal, sealed quotes. In accordance with 12 -10 (E) of the Code, I am
hereby submitting this report regarding this purchase.
Please advise me if you have any questions concerning this purchase.
