Commission approves Motorola Rave alert system contract and battery purchases for county towers
Summary
Following a 911 board recommendation, commissioners approved a three‑year Motorola Rave community‑alert contract for $22,800 and a package of backup battery purchases for county towers after motions listing vendor options and amounts.
Fallon County commissioners voted to accept a Tri‑County 911 board recommendation to adopt Motorola’s Rave alert system and to approve backup battery purchases for county communication towers.
The commission approved a three‑year contract for the Motorola Rave community‑alert platform at a cost of $22,800, citing unlimited messaging capacity and recommended vendor selection by the 911 board. A separate motion consolidated battery purchases into a single action: the board approved the Need More battery option (20‑year lifespan) for $37,911.98, along with Al Zeta and Weibo battery options listed in the packet; the motions passed and the chair instructed staff to finalize totals and procurement steps.
Commissioners said the upgrades support public‑safety communications and follow the 911 board’s recommendation; votes carried with one member absent.
