Subject: PURCHASE OF RADIO CONSOLE UPGRADE EQUIPMENT FOR
POLICE DEPARTMENT IN THE AMOUNT OF $21 ,427.81 FROM
COMMUNICATION CENTER, GLENDORA, CA
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Council approve a purchase of radio console
upgrade equipment for three dispatch stations (monitors, pc towers, recall
recorder, and applications) in the amount of $21,427.81 from Communications
Center (in Glendora) as a General Services Administration (GSA) member. As a
GSA member, the City is not required to competitively bid this purchase.
BACKGROUND
The Police Department has been functioning with its current radio system since
May of 1998. After the initial installation, we have not upgraded any of the
radio equipment. Our maintenance provider has recommended we update our
system to take advantage of current technology, obtain a more reliable instant
radio recall recorder, use our current equipment as emergency replacements,
and replace the consol components that are nearing the end of their product
life span. /

The Police Department has researched available vendors in the Los Angeles
area and has identified Communications Center (in Glendora) as a GSA
(General Services Administration) member. The cost for the upgrade, which is
to include three 17 inch touch screen monitors, three mini tower workstation
PC's, three single channel rapid recall recorders, three equipment consoles for
"resource" applications, three equipment consoles with optical mouse controls,
first level supervisor/system wide software and firmware upgrade kits, is
$21,427.81.
FISCAL IMPACT
These funds are currently budgeted in account #10203100007140 and will not
result in an increase in the FY2003 Operating Budget.
