Commission approves renewal of mobile radio hardware and maintenance contract for county towers
Summary
The commission approved a renewal for mobile radio hardware services covering equipment and maintenance for approximately 11 county towers used for radio communications for public-safety and county services.
Jefferson County commissioners approved a renewal of the county’s mobile radio hardware services and maintenance contract that supports mobile equipment mounted in county radio towers.
Staff said the county operates roughly 11 towers across the county that support radio communications for county services and other partner agencies. The contract covers hardware, services and maintenance for mobile radios and tower-mounted equipment that enable dispatch and interagency communications.
Commissioners discussed whether the contract could be restructured because other governments had experienced staffing challenges maintaining certified technical workers; staff said the county had explored alternatives but the project had been bid and could not be delayed. Staff noted the county retains contract provisions that would allow termination with notice (more than 30 days) if needed and that the county can later adjust contract terms.
A motion to approve the renewal was made, seconded and approved by voice vote. The transcript did not include a roll-call tally or the vendor name in the public remarks.
