Abstract

Action Requested:  Vote on a request to approve a contract with Motorola in the amount of $15,760,254 and authorize the County Manager to execute the agreement.

                     

Introduction & Background:  This is part of the approved CIP project for the county-wide Motorola P25 radio system upgrade.  The current radio system has reached end-of-life and is no longer viable for our current needs or the future growth of the county. 

                     

Discussion & Analysis:  The county radio system will be upgraded to the Motorola P25 700/800 MHz system in collaboration with the North Carolina Voice Interoperability Plan for Emergency Responders (VIPER) system. 

 

How does this relate to the Comprehensive Plan:  Ensure public safety through adequate resources, plans, and partnerships to keep people and property safe. 

                     

Budgetary Impact:  $15,760,254

                     

Recommendation:  Approve the County Manager to execute the agreement.
