MEMORANDUM
CODE: C TYPE: CONSENT PUBLIC NO
HEARING:
SUBJECT: Authorize Execution of a Memorandum of Understanding with the Tarrant County 9-1-1
District for the Provision of Radio Software and Authorize the Acceptance of Software
Valued at $520,000.00 for City of Fort Worth Radios (ALL COUNCIL DISTRICTS)
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council:
1. Authorize the execution of a Memorandum of Understanding with the Tarrant County 9-1-1 District
for the provision of radio software; and
2. Authorize the acceptance of software valued at$520,000.00 for City of Fort Worth radios.
DISCUSSION:
The City of Fort Worth (City) maintains partnerships with neighboring municipalities to provide
common radio communications channels that operate over each municipality's radio system. The
common channels allow public safety agencies to communicate with one another during multi-agency
incidents and events. Under certain circumstances, the use of visiting agencies' radios can have a
detrimental effect on the capacity of the host agency's radio system.
In 2017, the Tarrant County 9-1-1 District (District) acquired software from Motorola Solutions, Inc.,
for member cities' public safety radios. This software helps minimize the impact of radios from
visiting jurisdictions on a host system.
The District has allocated the City software for approximately 3,900 radios. The software is valued at
$520,000.00. The software will be applied to City radios by IT Solutions staff during the next
scheduled upgrade.
This M&C does not request approval of a contract with a business entity.
FISCAL INFORMATION/CERTIFICATION:
The Director of Finance certifies that upon approval of the above recommendations this donation of
software will be administered under the Donations Policy contained within the Financial Management
Policy Statements.
