. ' � � ' <br /> PURCHASING&INTERNAL SERVICES MEMORANDUM <br /> #95 - 31 <br /> July 10, 1995 <br /> TO: James C. Bacon, Jr., City Manager <br /> FROM: Deborah M. Perry, Purchasmg Supervisor�'� <br /> SUBJECT: RADIO REPEATER BIDS <br /> Attached you will find a bid summary for two additional radio repeaters. These repeaters will be <br /> added to the existing City of Decatur Motorola 800 Mhz trunked radio system at 2600 N. Jasper <br /> Street (Municipal Service Center) site. The City currently has a 5 channel system with one <br /> channel being the control, which leaves 4 channels for simultaneous conversations. <br /> When the Police Department came on the system the traffic load was heavier. The additional2 <br /> repeaters would allow for increased capacity, which would be necessary in a heavy traffic or <br /> disaster situation. <br /> In addition, to an increase in the e�dsting capacity, the frequency availability from the FCC is <br /> getting very hard to obtain. The frequency availability in Central Illinois, especially the - <br /> Springfield, Bloomington, Champaign area is limited. Getting the repeaters now will protect the <br /> City while they have frequencies still available. <br /> It is the staff recommendation to accept the low bid of McKeever Communications to fumish all <br /> equipment, installarion and material necessary for 2 additional radio repeaters to the existing City <br /> of Decatur tninked radio system for$42,990.00. <br /> cc: Beth Couter <br />
