Summary Explanation/Background:
In accordance with the City Charter / Code of Ordinance, Section 32.46 "Emergency Procurement,” the City Manager authorized issuing an emergency Purchase Order to purchase Bi-Directional Antenna (BDA) Systems at Fire Stations 11 and 103. The unanticipated loss of public safety radio communications inside Fire Station 11 and 103 necessitated an emergency purchase of the BDA Systems. The Fire Department has documented the emergency situation in a memo from Fire Chief, John Jurgle and obtained quotes for the BDA Systems from Signal Communications, LLC and Motorola Solutions who was awarded Broward Sheriff’s Office contract 121746. Due to the cost savings of $41,351.04 in purchasing the BDA Systems from Signal Communications LLC Purchase Order 163465 was issued 9/16/2016 to Signal Communications, LLC in the amount of $93,566.96.
