COUNCIL ACTION: Approved on 3/7/2017
REFERENCE,,C-28128 OF BURLESON RADIO
DATE: 3/7/2017 NO.: C-28128 LOG NAME: SUBSCRIBER SERVICES
CODE: C TYPE: CONSENT PUBLIC NO
HEARING:
SUBJECT: Authorize Execution of a Radio Subscriber Support Agreement with the City of Burleson
for the Provision of Two-Way Radio Support Services at No Cost to the City of Fort
Worth (ALL COUNCIL DISTRICTS)
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council authorize the execution of a Radio Subscriber Support
Agreement with the City of Burleson for the provision of two-way radio support services at no cost
to the City of Fort Worth.
DISCUSSION:
The City of Fort Worth (City) maintains Agreements with other public safety agencies in North
Central Texas to provide access to its Public Safety Communications System. Some agencies
have expressed interest in having the City extend its support to the programming, repair and
maintenance of their two-way radios and other hardware and software used to access the City's
Public Safety Communications System.
Under this Radio Subscriber Support Agreement, the City will install, configure, maintain and repair
certain public safety emergency response equipment. The City of Burleson (Burleson) will
reimburse the City for all labor and material costs associated with these services. The City's
performance of these additional services will not impact its ability to meet City department
requirements. It will, however, provide additional external revenues to help support the Public
Safety Communications System. It will also ensure that the equipment supporting the users of the
City's radio system is operating within manufacturer specifications, which is a critical requirement of
the digital technology used with the City's communications system.
In July 2012, the City Council approved Mayor and Council Communication (M&C) C-25749
authorizing the execution of a Communications System Agreement with Johnson County to provide
access to the City's Public Safety Radio System. In January 2017, Burleson approved a Radio
Subscriber Support Agreement under which the City would provide programming, repair and
maintenance services to Burleson's two-way radios and other emergency response
equipment. Under this arrangement, the City will perform these services upon request from
Burleson and will be reimbursed on a time and materials basis to offset all associated
costs. Annual fees are estimated to total approximately $5,000.00.
This contract will be with a governmental entity, state agency or public institution of higher
education: (City of Burleson).
FISCAL INFORMATION/CERTIFICATION:
The Director of Finance certifies that upon approval of the above recommendation, the Information
Technology Solutions Department is responsible for the collection and deposit of funds due to the
City.
