CITY OF LODI COUNCIL COMMUNICATION
AGENDA TITLE: Approve specifications and authorize advertisement for bids for
Replacement Communications Radio Base Station/Transmitters
(FD)
MEETING DATE: February 7, 2001
PREPARED BY: Fire Chief
RECOMMENDED ACTION: That the City Council approve the specifications and authorize
advertisement for bids for four 100-25 watt base
station/transmitters for the Fire Department.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION: Three of the four units will replace existing Fire Department
transmitters located in the radio equipment room behind the Public
Safety building. Replacement parts are no longer available from
the manufacturer for these existing transmitters. This equipment is
needed regardless of future decisions to move fire department
dispatching to Stockton Fire Dispatch. Radio and communication
equipment needs for moving to Stockton Fire Dispatch are still
being assessed.
The fourth unit will enable the dispatch center to monitor, communicate, and tape-record radio traffic on
the tactical channel. Currently only field units can communicate on this channel. This ability will help
contribute to firefighter safety.
The department expects to use the existing antenna and cabling at the installation site, thus avoiding the
cost of purchasing and installing these additional items.
FUNDING: Fire Department Operating Budget, Account 102012.7330
Estimated cost $26,000
