COUNCIL AGENDA STATEMENT
Meeting Date: May 8, 2006
To: Honorable Mayor and City Council Members
Through: Clark Corbridge, City Manager
From: Thomas Clemons, Chief of Police
Agenda Item: Approval for Purchase of Mobile Radio for Patrol Vehicles
______________________________________________________________________
BACKGROUND & JUSTIFICATION:
The City of Seward has requested to purchase two model year 2006 Ford Crown Victoria patrol
vehicles. The vehicles need to be equipped with mobile radios. Over the years, radios have been
salvaged from retired units. The new radios that are currently being used are Project 25
compliant. There are no old radios available for the new units.
The Police Department has contacted ProComm Alaska, LLC and has been given an estimated
cost of $6185.17 for a new Motorola XLT 5000 Mobile Radio. This radio is capable of
operating on the ALMAR trunked radio system.
Authorizing this purchase would best serve the needs of the City. ProComm Alaska, LLC has
been awarded the contract to provide mobile radios to the State of Alaska, through a competitive
bid process, for a large number of vehicles. The City will be more likely to receive a lower bid
utilizing the State bid than if the City were to request bids for two mobile radios.
INTENT:
Outfit two new patrol vehicles with equipment necessary to perform patrol duties.
CONSISTENCY CHECKLIST:
Yes No
