800 MHz Repeater Amplifier including associated hardware, for use
in the City's 800 MHz trunked system from Motorola Communications

BACKGROUND:
The General Services Administration Department, Communications
Division has found Motorola Communications and Electronics, Inc.,
to be the sole source of supply for the equipment needed and the
Chief Procurement Officer has also adopted this finding.
Therefore, the General Services Administration Department is
requesting approval for procurement of one (1) 800 MHz Repeater
Amplifier for use in the City's 800 MHz trunked system from
Motorola Communications and Electronics, Inc., system
manufacturer as sole source. This equipment is vital for Police,
Fire and Fire Rescue communications operations, making possible
communication between rescue units and, the Jackson Memorial
Hospital Emergency Room.
This item was considered at the November 13, 1986 City Commission
meeting and deferred to the November 25, 1986 Planning and Zoning
Meeting. This action was taken because of the identified need to
perform an independent system -wide review. In the interim, the
problem with emergency communications with the Jackson Memorial
Hospital Emergency Room remains a threat to life and safety. The
administration is concerned that the immediate critical need be
met by purchase of the necessary equipment. The question of
whether this purchase should be part of the existing contract can
be resolved after an independent system review.
