Summary: Staff requests approval of Contract No. 39906 with Motorola Solutions, Inc. (Motorola), San Diego, CA to provide mobile communication devices (radios) and antennas for Port Police vehicles and vessels.  The proposed purchase of the APX8500 multi-band radios and antennas will replace existing single-band Motorola XTL5000 radios, which are no longer produced or serviced by Motorola. These radios and antennas will facilitate communications consistency in our police vehicles and vessels that already have the multi-band APX8500 radios and antennas. Port Police is required to comply with a Federal mandate that requires public safety agencies nationwide to convert, at minimum, to a dual-band radio system by 2021. Port Police began phasing out the original radio system in Fiscal Year (FY) 2014.  The proposed purchase will supplement required system conversions for the remaining Port Police vehicles and vessels with the new proposed multi-band radios. The contract with Motorola Solutions, Inc. is outlined in Formal Bid Request Number F-1065.  The total contract amount is $193,983.79 plus applicable taxes.  This contract is the financial responsibility of the Harbor Department.
