Background:
The purpose of the Microwave Communication System is to provide primary network communications for Fire Station #1 and Fire Station #6. Included in the project will be engineering, design, integration, installation, testing, commissioning and delivery of two (2) completely operational microwave systems and associated applications. The contractor will be responsible for system performance, including a guarantee of microwave connectivity, installation of all equipment, and optimization of the microwave system.
Section 2-27 of the Broken Arrow Code addresses competitive bidding requirements for supplies, materials, equipment and contractual services. This Section also provides for exemptions to formal competitive bidding. Subsection (b)(5) provides that competitive bidding is not required for supplies, materials, equipment or contractual services when purchased at a price not exceeding a price set therefore by the state purchasing agency or any other state agency authorized to regulate prices for things purchased by the state or from purchasing consortiums. The proposed purchase from Western States Contracting Alliance (WSCA) Contract 02702 meets the criteria established by the Ordinance.
Funding for this purchase is budgeted and available through Sales Tax Capital Improvements (STCI). Staff recommends that the Council authorize the purchase of the two (2) Microwave Communication Systems from Dice Communications.
