REQUEST FOR PROPOSAL`_-
FOR 800 MNZ RADIO
EQUIPMENT AND SERVICE
APPROVED Council was apprised that the radio communications system
currently in use by the non-public safety departments of
CC -20, the City consists of approximately 49 radios (23 portables,
CC -47'x: 19 mobiles, 7 remotes, and 1 base) functioning on a
conventional UHF channel. Due to a variety of factors such
as age of equipment, channel congestion, access delays,
lack of privacy, interference, restricted emergency
capabilities, and limited system features, the Public
Works, Community Development, and Electric Utility
departments would greatly benefit by the purchase and
maintenance of new equipment to work in conjunction with an
existing 800 mhz trunked radio communication system. This
equipment would enable the future addition of public safety
networks. The specific items would include the fo:liwing:
36 mobile radios -•
13 portable adios (with chargers)
i
t:
I control stations with remote desk sets
2 local control stations.
6 mounted mobiles with control heads
1 conventional low-level backup repeater l
System features would include priority level definition,
selective addressing, privacy channeling, alert paging,
quick call capability, 99% area coverage, 98% airtime
access, and failure mode backup guarantee.
Funds for a portion of the system were �udgeted in previous
years' budgets and the equipat*t for the electric, water,
and sewer systems are included in the 1987-88 recommended
budget.
Council approved specifications for radio equipment to be
maintained• on an 800 mhz radio communications system and
authorized advertising for proposals thereon. The closing
date for proposals has been set for June 30, 1987.
