Background:
The Police Department is requesting City Council approval for the purchase of (13) Harris XL185M mobile communications radios with microphone and vehicle mounted antenna. These new radios will be installed in 10 of the patrol Explorers, 1 Van for Jail, 1 Animal Control vehicle, and 1 SIU vehicle previously approved by council. Harris and Motorola are the two most reputable manufacturers of public safety radios in the nation. Harris Technologies is in contract with the City of Norman as part of a large radio project during this fiscal year. Harris extended that pricing to the City of Broken Arrow. Through this contract pricing the city can purchase Harris radios for much less than the list cost of both Harris and Motorola radios.
Funds have been appropriated and are available in STCI and Police Department’s portion of the Public Safety Sales Tax Fund.
Cost: $81,900.00
Funding Source: Public Safety Sales Tax Projects 2430030, 2430230, 2430240, 2430250
