<br />REQUEST FOR COUNCIL CONSIDERATION <br /> <br />ITEM DESCRIPTION: Authorize The Replacement of Public Safety Center Radio System <br />DEPARTMENT HEAD’S APPROVAL: Anthony S. Paetznick, Director of Public Safety <br />CITY MANAGER’S APPROVAL: <br />No comments to supplement this report ___ Comments attached ___ <br /> <br />Recommendation: Authorize the replacement of the Public Safety Center Radio system from <br />Ancom Communications. <br /> <br />Legislative History: None <br /> <br />Financial Impact: The Non-Fleet Capital Replacement Fund has $100,000 budgeted for this <br />expense. The quoted pricing from the State of Minnesota Bid is $70,430.20. <br /> <br />Explanation: The current ARMER 800mhz Radio system was installed in the Public Safety <br />Center when it was constructed in 2002. The radio system allows Public Safety staff to receive <br />emergency calls for service and communicate with dispatch. The system was scheduled for <br />replacement in 2019 but to ensure we are fiscally conservative it was deferred to this year. In August, <br />the radio system stopped working. In the interim staff have been using portable radios which is a <br />non-sustainable solution. Staff contacted Ancom Communications a State of Minnesota Authorized <br />vendor and received the attached quote. The quoted pricing for the radio system components is <br />based upon the State of Minnesota Contracted pricing schedule. The purchase will be consistent with <br />the Non-Fleet Capital Replacement plan schedule and under budget. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />________________________ <br />Trevor Hamdorf <br />Deputy Director of Public Safety <br /> <br />Attachments: Quotation <br />Report Number: 2 <br />Agenda Section: Consent <br />Report Date: 09/15/2020 <br />Council Meeting Date: 09/22/2020
