Body
WHEREAS, The Purchasing/Central Services Division has reported that it has received a proposal for furnishing and delivering radio equipment that is compatable with the City's present equipment and the Milwaukee County Trunked Mobile Radio System as well as the State of Wisconsin System for the Police, Fire and DPW Departments of the City of West Allis, that the proposal received was reasonable; and,
WHEREAS, the City will be required to move to a P25 System by 2017 or sooner; and,
WHEREAS, the City has been saving for this expenditure for over 10 years; and,
WHEREAS, Motorola Solutions is running a promotional/discount (through 6/15/14) that will save the City $72,000.00 on 15% off the already 50% off list discounted price; and,
WHEREAS, The Common Council deems it to be in the best interests of the City of West Allis that the proposal of Motorola Solutions be accepted; and,
WHEREAS, the Purchasing/Central Services Division of the Department of Administration & Finance has determined that this contract is inappropriate for competitive selection due to the sole source nature of trunked radio communications equipment.
