CABARRUS COUNTY <br />REGULAR MEETING <br />1 <br />�A CAI �l� DE 1 <br />1 <br />AGENDA CATEGORY: <br />New Business <br />SUBJECT: <br />Sheriff - Contract for Subscriber as a Service with Motorola Solutions for <br />New Radios <br />BRIEF SUMMARY: <br />The County currently has 525 radios for public safety in operation. All of <br />which will reach end of support in the coming year. We have added <br />money into the CIP to begin a gradual replacement spread out over the <br />next few years. In a joint effort, Motorola has proposed Subscriber as a <br />Service, which will allow us to replace all radios at one time and spread <br />the cost out over the next six years to include maintenance and any other <br />service needs that would arise with the radio (subscribers). <br />As a service, the County would not own the radios, but would pay monthly <br />for the use and service of the radios. This would allow us to budget a <br />consistent number for the next six years and allow us to maintain the <br />latest in technology after the first six -year cycle by replacing the radios <br />with new ones and repeating the process for the next six years, with three <br />cycles built into the contract over eighteen years of replace and /or exit <br />clauses. <br />When factoring in the appropriated money in the CIP, and our current <br />maintenance pricing, we would spend the same amount of money doing it <br />this way as we would if we implemented the gradual approach to <br />replacement. <br />REQUESTED ACTION: <br />Motion to approve the contract between Cabarrus County and Motorola <br />Solutions; and authorize the County Manager to execute the contract on <br />G -2 Page 321 <br />
