This contract is for the procurement of portable radios from Motorola, in the amount of $247,330.  This contract will be used by Innovation + Technology Services Department’s Mobile Services to purchase radios for the Savannah Fire Department to replace radios that are aging and have fallen out of production, and also new ones for the New Hampstead location.  This purchase helps to ensure that our fire departments operate in the safest environment possible. The Radio Replacement Fund intends to maintain a level of currency in the Public Safety fleet by replacing a small number of radios yearly. The older radios are then repurposed and reprogrammed for use by the various Public Works departments, so they do not need to purchase radios. These 23 radios represent less than 5% of the non-fire Public Safety radios in the City. This is the only portable radio series that supports Motorola’s enhanced data, which is used to geo-locate officers by utilizing the radio’s built-in GPS receiver, and is the only radio that can be remotely programmed via Motorola’s over-the-air program. Twenty-three radios are part of the replacement program, and eight additional radios are for the New Hamstead location for the new fire station.
