03.33 Purchase APX8500 Radios1. SUBJECT
Purchase of six APX8500 Radios from Motorola Solutions
2. SUMMARY
While installing new radios as part of the upgrade of the 800 Megahertz (MHz) Countywide
Coordinated Communication System (CCCS), staff discovered that four of our Fire vehicles
required dual head radios rather than single head radios, which were part of the original purchase.
This purchase will allow staff to complete the installation of radios in all Fire vehicles and have
two spare dual head radios. The four single head radios will remain as spares for future
replacements.
3. RECOMMENDED ACTION
1) Authorize the purchase of six APX8500 radios from Motorola Solutions, Inc. in the amount
of $49,181.84.

to account 120.0201.56510.20223 (800 MHz CCCS Next Generation).

$49,181.84
5. STRATEGIC PLAN GOAL(S)

6. GENERAL PLAN IMPLEMENTATION
Not applicable.
7. DISCUSSION and BACKGROUND
In December 2016, the City Council approved the purchase of 533 radios as part of the upgrade
of the CCCS. Staff has been working to install the new radios in all Fire Department vehicles.
Police vehicle installation was contracted with the Orange County Sheriff's Department. While
performing installation of the Fire vehicles, it was discovered that four radios thought to require
single head radios actually require dual head radios. This purchase will allow staff to complete
the installation of radios in all Fire vehicles to ensure continued operation and communication of
all safety vehicles. It will also provide for two spare dual head radios. The pricing of these units
is in line with the prices paid in the original purchase. The four single head radios that were
originally to be installed will remain as spare units for future replacements. Therefore, staff
recommends that the City Council approve the purchase of six APX8500 radios from Motorola
Solutions in the amount of $49,181.84.
