Title:
title
Approval of and authorization to amend the purchase of mobile communication radios for the police department from L3 Harris Technologies Inc
End
Background:
The Police Department is requesting City Council amend the purchase of 16 Harris XL185M mobile communications radios. This purchase was previously approved by Council on August 4th, 2025. Since then, we have learned of another model of radio that will suit our needs and is considerably more affordable per radio. The XL85M radio just came out this year and the only major difference between it and the XL185M is the lack of LTE capability, which we never use. Amending this purchase will save $34,285 on FY26 mobile radios for new patrol cars. The cost of the XL185 radios was $102,718.69, the cost of the XL85 radios is $68,433.76.
Cost: $68,433.76
Funding Source: Fund 329, Projects 2630010 and 2630020
Requested By: Lance Arnold, Chief of Police
Approved By: City Manager’s Office

Approve of and authorize the amendment of purchase of mobile communication radios for the police department from L3 Harris Technologies Inc
