Background Information
City Commission has approved funding in the FY 2018-19 Fire Rescue District and General Fund/Emergency Medical Services budgets for equipment associated with the purchasing of new Fire and EMS vehicles. Fire Rescue utilizes the Motorola infrastructure that has been established within Sarasota County as the preferred radio brand. These Motorola radios and system offer: (1) extended range and enhanced operational functionality, and (2) reduce maintenance costs, and that are compatible with system that Sarasota County has implemented for its communications.
While City Ordinance authorizes the City Manager to utilize piggyback agreements, the City Manager's policy requires all City-wide procurements exceeding $100,000 to be presented to the Commission for consideration. For this reason, the Fire Rescue District's radio purchase has put the City-wide limit over the $100,000 mark and is being presented for the Commission's approval.
