Quick Summary / Abstract
Approve the recommendation for award for the above contract.

Contract Term:         June 10, 2014 through June 30, 2017
User Department:       Information & Technology
Award Amount:          $2,000,000
Vendor Awarded:        Motorola Solutions, Inc.

This agenda item requests approval to utilize The Broward Sheriff?s Office Bid #12-29077/JHJ with Motorola to procure the radio equipment. The Broward Sheriff?s Office contract with Motorola Solutions, Inc., has the lowest available contract pricing for the APXTM Series Radios.

District sites and offices utilize radios for both daily and emergency operations. As various agencies within Broward County migrate their existing public safety radios systems from an analog to digital platform, we must upgrade our radio equipment to ensure adequate radio communications.

The radio migration is expected to take three years to complete.

This aligns with the District Education Technology Plan (2013-2016) Goal 3: Information Technology (IT) Service Management & Support ? Deliver customer-focused technical services and support to all schools and District departments.

This Agreement has been reviewed and approved as to form and legal content by the Office of the General Counsel.

The estimated financial impact will be $2,000,000.  The funding source is Information & Technology Capital Fund budget.  The District is being offered an additional Manufacturer?s Promotion Discount of $116,000 for the initial phase purchase. District staff will continue to capitalize on additional savings through manufacturer incentives where possible.
