They <br /> are also outdated. The radios are used several times a day to <br /> communicate messages from the office staff to the field. They <br /> are heavily used throughout the spring, summer and autumn months <br /> when alot of outdoor work is done and residents call city hall <br /> with requests. This summer the street projects will require even <br /> more on -site communication between the staff and public works <br /> crew. <br /> Staff recommends the purchase of the Richard Peterson Contact <br /> Communications for $3,125.00. This is not the lowest priced set, <br /> but it provides more flexibility entering and deleting channels <br /> which eliminates noise interference and may be an option for a <br /> remote telephone in the future. Several radio companies said the <br /> current set had no trade -in or resale value. <br /> The public works capital budget includes $6,000 for new radios. <br /> E. F. Johnson $3,150.57 <br /> Richard Peterson Contact <br /> Communications $3,125.00 <br /> Johnson Communications $2,741.50 <br /> ATTACHMENT: Detailed cost breakdown <br /> ACTION REQUESTED: Approve purchase of one base radio and <br /> three mobile radio units, with accessories, from Richard <br /> Peterson Contact Communications at a cost of $3,125.00. <br /> n e <br />
