SUBJECT
Authorize Execution of a Radio Subscriber Services Agreement with City of Cleburne 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 Services Agreement with the City of Cleburne 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.
In July 2019, the City of Cleburne (Cleburne) approved a Radio Subscriber Services Agreement. Under this agreement, the City will install,
configure, program, maintain and repair certain public safety emergency response equipment. Cleburne 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. Annual fees are estimated to total approximately $5,000.00.
A Form 1295 is not required for this contract because: This contract will be with a governmental entity, state agency or public institution of higher
education: City of Cleburne
FISCAL INFORMATION / CERTIFICATION:
The Director of Finance certifies that upon approval of the above recommendation the Information Technology Solutions Department and the
Financial Management Services Department have the responsibility for the collection and deposit of funds due to the City under this Agreement.
Revenue from this agreement is estimated at $5,000.00 annually.
