Date: May 13, 2024 Item: 20 <br />Presenter: James Van Eyll, Fire Chief <br />Section: Public Safety Report <br /> <br />Title: Purchase of radio equipment for Orono fire facilities <br /> <br /> <br />1.Purpose: <br />The purpose of this purchase is to seek Council approval to procure radios for the Orono Fire <br />Facilities. These radios will be first used in our temporary facilities and then moved to our <br />permanent facilities. The radio systems have the ability to upgraded to include Station Alerting <br />when needed in the future. <br />2.Background: <br />In the Orono Fire Needs Assessment in Section 7 we identified improved technologies at each <br />building. Part of the improved technologies are 2 APX Consolettes for use for overhead speakers <br />and future station alerting. The base stations are needed to allow for radio traffic through the <br />overhead speakers. The radio traffic will allow us to listen and respond quicker to our calls for <br />service when we are at the stations. The advantage to the APX Consolettes is that they have the <br />ability to be upgraded to include station alerting. This is especially important if we are going to <br />staff our stations 24/7. The existing equipment at each of the fire stations isn't upgradeable for <br />station alerting and Motorola is discontinuing support for them in 2025. <br />3.Cost: <br />Project Cost <br />Temp North Station - Old Public Works $ 22,982.24 <br />Total $ 22,982.24 <br />4.Funding: <br />The funding for this project will be from the bonded monies for the fire facilities. <br />5.Staff Recommendation: <br />I recommend the approval of the Motorola APX Consolettes and accessories for Temp North Fire <br />Station - Old Public Works Building only. We will return to Council in 2025 for the remaining <br />items for the Navarre Fire Station. <br />AGENDA ITEM <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />COUNCIL ACTION REQUESTED <br />Motion to approve quote number 2611584 from Motorola Solutions for the Temp North Fire Station - <br />Old Public Works Building not the equipment for the Navarre Fire Station. <br />Exhibits <br />Orono FD - MSI QUOTE-2611584-2 - APX Consolettes and Accessories for N and S Fire Stations <br />MCD5000 RMTS and 2 APX6500 O2 Dash Mount Mobiles - 4-26-24.pdf <br />210
