Oscoda authorizes encrypted programming for police radios at under $15,000
Summary
The board authorized on July 27 radio encryption programming and template upgrades for 15 Oscoda Township Police Department 800 MHz radios through ProComm Inc., not to exceed $14,935.80.
Oscoda Township approved a project July 27 to encrypt and update templates for 15 existing police radios on the township's 800 MHz system, using the State of Michigan bid price via vendor ProComm Inc. The board authorized the Township Manager and the Police Chief to complete required expenditures and administrative actions with a total project cost not to exceed $14,935.80.
The motion passed unanimously. The authorization covers programming and template upgrades only; the minutes do not record additional capital procurement beyond the project scope noted in the motion.
Why it matters: encryption and template upgrades are intended to improve secure communications for public safety responders. The board explicitly capped the expenditure and identified the State bid pricing as the procurement source.
