Authorization to purchase GPS Equipment and Software
Bruce Messelt, City Administrator, asked the Council to authorize the purchase of Global
Positioning System (GPS) equipment and associated software for $7,820.00 and rental of
an additional antenna for $256 per month. The antenna rental is being requested to
determine if the additional accuracy it would provide is needed and if the equipment
would be user-friendly enough to be purchased in the future. The funds to pay for the
proposed purchase would come from the benefiting departments’ existing 2010 budget,
primarily the Public Works Department.
GPS is a space-based global navigation satellite system that provides reliable location and
time information in all weather and at all times anywhere on or near the earth when and
where there is an unobstructed line of sight to four or more GPS satellites.
MOTION: Council Member DeLapp moved to authorize the purchase of Global
Positioning System (GPS) equipment and associated software for $7,820.00 with the
rental of an additional antenna for $256 per month for two months. Council Member
Smith seconded the motion. The motion passed 3-0.
