THE OFFICE OF REGIONAL COMMUNICATIONS AND TECHNOLOGY RECOMMENDS THE APPROVAL OF THE ABOVE MOTION.
On February 7, 2017, the Broward County Board of Commissioners approved Motorola as the first ranked vendor in the Request for Proposal R1422515P1 for the P25 Public Safety Radio System and Microwave replacement, and authorized to start negotiations with the vendor.
On May 23, 2017, the Broward County Board of Commissioners approved the agreement between Motorola Solutions, Inc. and Broward County to build an APCO P25 Phase II 700MHz Public Safety Radio System.
As part of the project implementation, new tower sites and shelters are required to be secured, which will involve executing appropriate documentation, including leases, licenses, and interlocal agreements.
The new radio tower sites must be secured between June and August 2017 in order to maintain the Project Schedule. Staff will attempt to negotiate leases at the lowest possible rental rate, in an amount not to exceed $15,000 per month, in aggregate, for agreements that cover up to eight tower site locations. By authorizing the County Administrator to execute these documents, the process will continue during the summer recess period avoiding delays in the project schedule.
