A RESOLUTION OF THE LODI CITY COUNCIL AUTHORIZING THE
CITY MANAGER TO EXECUTE CHANGE ORDER NO. 1 TO PUBLIC WORKS
800 MHZ RADIO TRANSMISSION SERVICE CONTRACT WITH LARUE
COMMUNICATIONS, INC. FOR TRANSIT RADIO SERVICE
WHEREAS, the City entered a five-year contract for Public Works 800 MHz radio transmission service
with LaRue Communications, Inc., of Stockton, California, in 2005: and
WHEREAS, currently, the City of Lodi Public Works divisions (with the exception of Transit who
contracts with an outside vendor for radio service on a 900 MHz frequency) utilize an 800 MHz system for day-
to-day operations; and
.WHEREAS, the Transit Division's current radio provider has proposed a change in frequencies, and
due to this proposed change, the existing contract being month-to-month, and difficulties with the existing 900
MHz service, staff has evaluated the benefits of Transit remaining with the current contractor or of joining the
radio system utilized by the other Public Works divisions: and
WHEREAS, the system Public Works currently utilizes is trunked and can accommodate the Transit
demand. The Public Works contract allows for additional units to be added, and the contractor has confirmed
its willingness to provide the additional service at the same rate and terms for the remaining three years of the
contract; and
WHEREAS, migration of the Transit Division into the contract with the remaining Public Works
divisions will allow for all communications to be coordinated under one contract; and
WHEREAS, the cost proposed includes a monthly fee of $10 per unit for transmission (Transit will
soon operate 33 bus mounted units, two handhelds, and two base stations), a monthly fee of $5 per unit for
maintenance, and radio installation at $85 per hour. The contractor has agreed to replace all the existing
radios (25 in total) with 800 MHz radios at no cost to the City. Eight additional radios will be provided and
installed for a charge of $225 each.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the Lodi City Council that the City Manager is hereby
authorized and directed to execute Change Order No. 1 to Public Works 800 MHz Radio Transmission
Service Contract with LaRue Communications, Inc.; of Stockton, California, for transit radio service in an
amount not to exceed $20,000 over the three-year term.
