800 MHZ Radios
FROM:
DATE:
November 15, 2007
INTRODUCTION:
The fire department has put $228,000 in their capital equipment budget for 2007 to
purchase 800 MHZ radios to meet the need of the transition of Scott County Dispatch
from UHF to 800 MHZ.
BACKGROUND:
The Fire Department has been meeting with Scott County Sheriff Dispatch and other fire
departments in investigating the best radios due to the change coming by June of 2008 on
the use of UHF radios and the change to the 800MHZ system. This system will be
operable and functioning giving us the ability to communicate more effectively with fire
departments and other government agencies around the state.
RECOMMENDATION:
The Shakopee Fire Department recommends to council to purchase the 800 MHZ radios
for the department at a cost of$217,989.86. This purchase will save the city $200-$300
per radio with the 4th quarter discount from Motorola if purchased by November 30t\
2007. This will also give the fire department the opportunity to start training their
firefighters in the use ofthe new radio system before the system is live.
ACTION REOUESTED:
Council is requested to allow the fire department to purchase the requested equipment out
of the Capital Equipment fund that was allotted by the 2007 budget of the Shakopee Fire
Department. The total cost ofthe equipment will be $217,989.86.
