BASE STATION - REQUEST AUTHORIZATION TO REPLACE UNIT. Fire
Chief Rumley reported that due to a recent lightning storm,
the Department's base station was destroyed, and he request-
ed authorization to replace the unit, which would include
the purchase of a standby unit. Motorola submitted a bid
for a new base station and equipment, plus a "standby" unit,
as follows:
Base Station $ 6,077.00
Standby Unit 4,100.00
TOTAL: $10,177.00
$7,500 was budgeted for a new base station, and $6,000 was
budgeted for bunker gear; by shifting a portion of the
bunker gear allocation toward the standby unit, both units
could be purchased. The Town is in the process of filing a
claim for the damage incurred, and staff anticipates receiv-
ing approximately $1,000. Following discussion, the Commit-
tee recommends approval of the request, thus approving the
purchase of the base station, plus standby unit for a total
expenditure of $10,177.00.
There being no further business, Chairman Garrett adjourned the
meeting at 2:16 P.M.
