City Manager Recommendation for Resolution

jL. Mullins Resolution
/Purchasing Agent
It is recommended that the award be made and a
resolution be passed waiving the requirement for
formal sealed bids and authorizing the purchase
of one Radio Base Station and Two Modems from
Motorola, Inc. at a total cost of $11,450.00.
The Department of Computers and Communications has purchased a
Motorola "large capacity" Dial Interconnected Paging Terminal.
The terminal will accommodate radio pagers with the capability
of receiving and displaying alpha -numeric messages.
To transmit by radio frequency the alpha -numeric signal to the
pagers, a special transmitter that will send digital and computer
language transmissions is required. The signals must be trans-
mitted anu must be in synch with those emitted by the paging
terminal. Since this paging terminal is a new product, a special
transmitter is required. Only Motorola manufactures this type
transmitter. Two Motorola 202 type modems are needed to inter-
face the transmitter to the paging terminal.
Funds for this purchase are available in the 1981-82 Operating
Budget of the Department of Computers and Communications.
The Department of Computers and Communications concurs with this
recommendation.
