Fire District 1 to buy $81,092 radios from Motorola to replace unserviceable handhelds
Summary
Fire District 1 will purchase handheld radios from Motorola Solutions for $81,092.96 to replace radios no longer serviceable and assign them to Bentley and Viola volunteer departments, the board approved the purchase by roll call.
On behalf of Sedgwick County Fire District 1, Bridal Rosencutter recommended accepting a Motorola Solutions quote for $81,092.96 to replace handheld radios that are no longer serviceable. Rosencutter said the radios would be assigned to apparatus serving the Bentley and Viola volunteer fire departments and would provide vital out-of-vehicle communications during emergency incidents.
"The handheld radios will be replacing old radios that are no longer serviceable," Rosencutter said. A board member moved to accept the Motorola quote; the motion received a second and the board voted by roll call to approve the purchase. Purchasing staff explained the single-source justification: the current Motorola contract and the need for continuity with existing inventory and interoperability with emergency communications.
