Abstract
Action Requested: Vote on a request to approve a contract change order with Motorola in the amount of $4,355,032.83 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. This change order reflects needed system design and equipment changes.
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: $4,355,032.83
Recommendation: Approve the County Manager to execute the agreement.
