CITY OF LODI
COUNCIL COMMUNICATION
AGENDA TITLE: Purchase of Communications Radios for the
Police Department Partners Program ($5,452.15)
MEETING DATE: May 18, 1994
PREPARED BY: Police Chief
RECOMMENDED ACTION: That the City Council adopt the attached resolution
awarding the bid for the purchase of ten portable
communications radios to the sole bidder, Lagorio
Communications, Manteca, in the amount of $5,452.15.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION: On April 20, 1994, the City Council approved the
specifications and authorized advertisement for bids
for ten portable two-way radios for use by the Po-
lice Department's Partners volunteers. Bid forms
were sent to seven Motorola Radius distributors; only one, Lagorio Communica-
tions, responded.
(For comparison, mail order prices ranged from just under $500 to $528, plus
shipping costs. Lagorio's unit price is $506, delivered. Additionally, for
warranty work on radios purchased through mail order, the City would be re-
sponsible for shipping the radios to the repair facility for work, losing use
of the radios while repairs are made. When purchased from Lagorio, any in-
operable radio is picked up, replaced with an available loaned unit, re-
paired, and returned, at no cost to the City).
The equipment recommended for purchase, the Motorola Radius P11O Portable,
assures compatibility with the Police communications system, and offers
lightweight. portability and ease of use.
These radios will provide the vital communications link between the volun-
teers and department officers and staff. As always in public safety, reli-
able and continuous communication provides a crucial safety factor during
the course of police business.
FUNDING: Asset Seizure Funds are available to fund this
purchase.
