Title
Consider a resolution authorizing the Mayor to execute a System Purchase Agreement with Motorola Systems, Inc. to replace the Police Department's existing microwave system.
Body
The City's public safety radio communications system links to the Williamson county Radio Communication System with an outdated and aging microwave system. The existing system was not replaced when the County switched from an analog to a digital system in 2008. Williamson County began to address the need to upgrade the current system in 2013 when necessary replacement parts could not be located through normal vendors and were purchased on the secondary market. This project occurs in conjunction with a similar project at the County and Cedar Park.
The project will reconfigure the current layout into a county-wide loop that will provide greater resiliency for the system.
Council funded this $248,166 project in November as part of a package of General Self-Financed Construction projects.
Cost: $248,166.00
Source of Funds: General Self-Financed Construction
