Money was budgeted in the 1990 fire department budget for the addition of
some hand-held radios and some pagers. We have been holding off on
purchasing these items until we had a ehance to see wfiat shape our budget
was going to be in at year's end. Barring any major unforseen
expenditures, these items can be cov�red by our 1990 budget.
, At the present time, we are im need of one multi-channel scanning hand-
f held radio to be used by an officer. We are also in need of purchasing
' three non-scanning, more basic type hand-held radios to be used by fire
i fighters on the scene and while entering burning structures. We currently
use both Motorola and Regency hand-held radios depending on_ their intended
I use. Mobil Radio Engineering has the best prices on Regency, Motorola and
� Midland radios locally. We can, however, go directly ,to Matorola out of
Chicago by use of the state purchasing consor�ium bid pricing and get the _
best deal by buying direct from them. Our intention would be to
purchase 1 Motorola HT1000 radio and 3 Motorola HT6QO radios at the prices
indicated below. A copy of the local bids is attached.
We would also like to purehase 2 Motorola Minitor II pagers and chargers.
! With these two additions, we should be able to equip ali of our current
members and all of our anticipated recruits with fairly new and reliab�.e
pagers and still have a few spares to be used as backups. These pagers are
� also on the consortium bid and the prices are indicated on the chart below.
�
i 1 - Motorola HT-1000 Hand-Held radio $ 608.00
i 3 -- Motorola HT-600 Hand-Held radio (3 @ $512.00) $1, 536.00
{ 2 - Minitor II Pagers & Chargers (2 @ $409. Q0) $ 818. 00
Total $2 ,962.00
REC�MMENDED ACTION:
Mation by city council to allow the fire department to spend $2 ,962.00
to purchase 4 Motorola hand-held radios and 2 Motorola Minitor II
; pagers.
