There being a tie vote, Mayor Busse cast a "Nay" vote and declared the

City Adminstrator Peterson reported that in connection with the
City's move to the new facilities, and to replace police equipment which
is nearing the end of its projected useful life (equipment is 17 years
old), specifications were developed and proposals solicited for
communications equipment. Bids were opened on Friday, July 12, 1991 with
two bidders submitting proposals: Motorola Corporation and Radicom.
Chief Joyce and Peterson reviewed the bids, spoke to consultants, and
contacted references about each bid and bidder.
Based upon their extensive review, it was the recommendation of the
Chief and Administrator that a contract be awarded to Radicom, the low
bidder, in the amount of $122,047.31 with the antenna for the system to
be installed at the Northwest Corner of the Municipal Center building.
It was also their recommendation that a change order be issued later
authorizing the $4,500.00 cabinet deduction from the original bid. It
was not recommended that the existing 60' antenna tower be reused at the
new facility and that 20 feet extra be added to that tower. Bidders in
attendance who answered questions of the Aldermen were Phil Bartman of
Radicom and John Jarden of Motorola.
Motion by Bolger, seconded by Adams, to award the bid for the Police
Communications Equipment to Radicom in the amount of $122,047.31, with
the antenna to be installed at the Northwest Corner of the Municipal
Center building; to authorize the Mayor to execute the contract and that
no maintenance agreement be considered at this time.
