F. LEASE PURCHASE AGREEMENT IN THE AMOUNT OF $694,845.10 TO\nREPLACE AND UPGRADE FIRE DEPARTMENT RADIOS\nThe San Gabriel Fire Department needs to replace its legacy radio system. The\nmobile and portable radios are over ten, and in instances, nearly twenty years\nold and in critical need of replacement. Replacement of the radios was\npreviously deferred due to financial constraints. Staff has conducted research\ninto several radio vendors and interoperability systems to determine the best\nradio communication system for the Department’s current and future needs.\nThe Motorola APX8000 and APX8500 are the products determined to best meet\nthe current needs and will provide for a 15-year service life. The total cost of\nthe project including interest payments is $694,845.10.\nRecommended Action:\nStaff recommends that the City Council:\n1. Adopt Resolution No. 23-11\n2. Approve a Motorola Solutions Equipment Lease-Purchase Agreement to\nreplace and upgrade the Fire Department’s radio system in the amount of\n$694,845.10 and authorize the City Manager to execute all necessary\ndocuments.\n3. Waive formal bidding requirements in accordance with the San Gabriel\nPurchasing Policy and Municipal Code 34.35.
