RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Council approve the purchase of radio equipment to
upgrade the Azusa Police Department dispatch center consoles to allow compatibility
with new UHF radio technology.
BACKGROUND
Homeland Security grants have been utilized during the past several years to purchase
interoperable UHF portable and mobile radios to allow the Police Department to migrate
towards this specialized equipment to enhance event and incident management and
strengthen the ability of Law Enforcement Agencies to communicate with each other.
The Police Department now needs to upgrade its dispatch center consoles with this new
radio technology. The following compatible radio equipment is needed to help further the
project:
2 Motorola MCC7500 Dispatch Console Radios and Support Equipment
TOTAL: $ 240,210.00
The Motorola equipment will be purchased from Motorola Solutions, c/o Public Safety
Technologies (dba Communications Center) located at 719 Arrow Grand Circle, Covina,

Purchase and Service Agreement dated October 31, 2011 as authorized under AMC
Section 2-523(e), contract#MA-IS-43070-10.
FISCAL IMPACT

California Homeland Security Grant Program, and $30,000 from the Regional Radio
2011 Homeland Security Grant funds. The County of Los Angeles and the State of
California, upon receipt of goods by the City of Azusa Police Department, will process

cost of this radio equipment in the amount of$85,210 will be funded from the Asset
