Title
16. Authorize the City Manager to Procure an Amplified Distributed Antenna System from Newbridge Wireless, LLC in the Amount of $139,287.21 (Event No.7864)
Strategic Priority
Good Government
Description

Recommend approval to procure an amplified distributed antenna system from Newbridge Wireless, LLC in the amount of $139,287.21. The Cultural Resources Department will use the amplified distributed antenna system to increase radio and cell signals throughout 49,000 square foot Cultural Arts Center building eliminating dead zones.

Due to the design of the building and multi layers of thick brick used for sound proofing purposes in many sections, cell phones do not work throughout the building. The system is necessary for citizens, staff, law enforcement and fire personnel to be able to communicate inside the building while responding to a potential threat.  Newbridge Wireless, LLC was selected as the lowest qualified vendor that met the requirements specified for this project.
