b) Extension of Radio Maintenance Agreement
c)
Bid 93-2 solicited quotes from qualified vendors to
maintain the City's two-way radio equipment.
Quotes were received from two vendors and it is
proposed to award the bid to the lowest bidder,
Motorola Communications and Electronics,
Incorporated, Van Nuys, California. It is
recommended that the City Council award Bid #93-2
for the City's Radio Maintenance Agreement to
Motorola Communications and Electronics,
Incorporated, Van Nuys, California, for a period of
two years commencing January 1, 1993, at a current
fixed cost of $3,045.00 per month, and authorize
staff to issue a purchase order for such award.
The Police Department requests City Council
approval for the purchase of three (3) unmarked
Special Enforcement Team (S.E.T.) vehicles from
Asset Seizure Funds. It is recommended that the
City Council take the following actions:
i) Find that the State Bid is at least as
stringent as that used by the City. The State
Bid No. 1-92-23-14 therefore satisfies the
formal bid process per West Covina Municipal
Code Section 2-333, and justifies waiving the
formal bid process and purchase of a 1992 Ford
Mustang ($10,948.80 plus tax and fees) and
allow Ed Butts Ford to match the State Bid;
ii) Allow the Chief of Police to purchase one
unmarked vehicle from Ed Butts Ford for
$13,000 plus tax and fees;
iii) Allow the Chief of Police to purchase one
unmarked vehicle from Enterprise Car Sales at
