Committee approves radio and helicopter maintenance contracts; minutes approved by voice vote
Summary
The IRPS committee approved a change order for radio equipment purchases and exercised a renewal for helicopter maintenance during the meeting. The committee also approved minutes from a prior item by voice vote. Commissioners approved both contract items by voice vote during the meeting.
DeKalb County’s IRPS Committee approved two procurement items on the committee agenda and approved minutes from an earlier item by voice vote.
1) Public safety radios (item 20250416): The committee ratified two purchase orders and approved a contract increase to Motorola Solutions, Inc. under an existing Sourcewell cooperative contract (Sourcewell contract number 042021-MOT). The change order (contract 1377240) covers APX radios and accessories (remote speaker microphones, chargers, batteries), device installation and programming, and seeks to increase funds for Motorola Solutions, Inc. by an amount not to exceed $362,440.85. The items will purchase 50 radios and associated accessories for fire rescue, the marshal’s office, and police services. The committee approved the item by motion and voice vote; the transcript records "All in favor? Aye… Motion carries." (specific vote counts were not recorded in the transcript).
2) Helicopter maintenance renewal (item 20250472): The committee exercised the first renewal option for an annual helicopter maintenance and repair services contract (contract 1381091) awarded to Rotor Resources for police aviation. The renewal covers maintenance and required FAA-mandated services for the county’s two helicopters; the renewal amount requested was not to exceed $400,000 for the contract year. Committee members approved the renewal by voice vote; the transcript records "All in favor? Aye. Motion carries." A county official noted the amount is for the contract year and that typical annual spending is usually less than the not-to-exceed amount.
The committee also approved item 20250702 (minutes) by motion and voice vote earlier in the meeting.
Ending: The approved procurements will proceed to implementation; staff and departments will execute the purchase orders and renewal in accordance with county procurement rules and the terms discussed at committee.
