Chairman Garrett called the special meeting of the Public Safety
Committee to order at 8:01 A.M.
ESTES PARK VOLUNTEER FIRE DEPARTMENT:
Communications Equipment. Pursuant to the Committee's
request of February 23rd, members of the Fire Department's
Communications Committee appeared to discuss the bidding
procedure used for communications equipment. Jim Sloan
confirmed 6/7 vendors were contacted, including the Elec-
tronic Endeavor. As such radio equipment is very technical
in nature, the Department did not itemize the equipment to
be bid. Each vendor was asked to supply all information and
sample equipment for review by the Department. All of the
sample equipment was then examined for size, performance,
durability, and service. The Motorola unit was found to be
approximately $160 less than that quoted for the Bendix King
unit. Based upon the aforementioned and cost, the
Communications Committee reaffirmed their recommendation for
the purchase of the Motorola equipment. David
Floyd/Electronic Endeavor stated his firm's equipment was
comparable to the Motorola unit and he presented the Bendix
Allied King representative. Following additional dis-
cussion, the Committee confirmed the Department: (1) did
follow reasonable bidding guidelines, (2) could justify
their recommendation based upon the testing of the equipment
and cost -savings; therefore, the Committee recommends
approval of the Motorola communications equipment for the
per unit price of $703± for the portables, and $1,154± for
the mobile, installed.
There being no further business, Chairman Garrett adjourned the
meeting at 8:25 A.M.
