He suggested the contract be awarded to <br />A.R.I., the lowest bidder, and aslced for a motion from Council to accept <br />A.R.I. <br />Mr. Busa, seconded by Mrs. Bloom, ma.de a motioxi to accept Mayor Beebe's <br />recommendation to award the fire hydrant replacement and repair contract <br />to the A.R.I. Construction Company. <br />Roll Call: AYES: All <br />NAYS: None Motion Carried <br />Fire Hydrant repair contract to be awarded to A.R.I. Construction Company. <br />Police Radio Console Bids <br />Chief Stevens said the bids were opened.Friday. Two bids were received. <br />Motorola was the only bidder on a complete communications system, and another <br />company bid on tlie 24-hour logging tape recorder. Motarola bid on this also, <br />and the bids were close. The $99,000.00 bid amount includes the Fire Department <br />console, the replacement of all mobile radios and five additional portable <br />radios. The bid was higher than anticipated because i.t includes a closed circuit <br />camera system which was optional equipment. The camera.would be to monitor the <br />jail cell and all areas where prisoners are being handled. The amount of the <br />bid would be $15,940.00 less without the camera system. He said by purchasing <br />these items together, instead of separately, would save about 20%. <br />Mr. Toth asked if Chief Stevens had information on leasing as Motorola offers <br />a capital lease agreement. The unit could be leased for 3- 5 years with the <br />option to buy. He feels in the long run that would be better. <br />Discussion was held. <br />Mr. Busa questioned if the monthly lease payment would be applicable to the <br />purchase price. <br />Mr. Toth said he would have to discuss the matter with Motorola before he <br />could make an accurate report. <br />Mrs. Hanus, seconded by Mr. Busa, made a motion that a decision not be made <br />until Mr. Toth researches the ma.tter and presents his report and f igures to <br />Council. <br />Mr. Busa thought perhaps we could get aIl accessories to the equipment if it <br />is leased instead of purchased. <br />Mr. Carmen feels because of the rapid development of technology today, if the <br />equipment could be leased, in a couple of years we could get a new system and <br />we could always have top of the line equipment.
