CABARRUS COUNTY <br />BOARD OF COMMISSIONS <br />REGULAR MEETING <br />AUGUST 17, 2009 <br />6:30 P.M. <br />AGENDA CATEGORY: <br />Consent Agenda <br />SUBJECT: <br />Sheriff's Department - 800 MHz Digital Radio Purchase <br />BRIEF SUMMARY: <br />The Sheriff's office is requesting to purchase 80 (eighty), digital, 800 MHz <br />radios in the amounts of (30) mobiles and (50) portables. This purchase <br />request is already budgeted, but needs board approval due to the amount <br />of purchase. This radio purchase is consistent with the current digital <br />migration and interoperability plan for the county. Motorola currently has a <br />trade-in allowance for the analog radios we are replacing. This trade-in <br />allowance is $550 per portable and $400 per mobile which is better than a <br />direct sales rate. This trade-in will save the county $39,500 towards the <br />purchase of these new digital radios. The total cost with trade-ins for the <br />80 radio units is $286,947.11. <br />REQUESTED ACTION: <br />Motion to purchase of 80 (eighty), 800 Mhz, digital radios on State <br />Contract from Motorola, and to surplus 80 (eighty), 800 Ms, analog <br />radios to be used as a trade-in allowance. <br />EXPECTED LENGTH OF PRESENTATION: <br />SUBMITTED BY: <br />Capt Phillip J.
