The system cuts out in the middle of <br />transmission. He said he has two bids which compare identical line <br />items. The lowest bid is from Western Reserve Communications in the <br />amount of $24,000. This price reflects a price increase in the amount <br />of $463. Chief Mohr said he has not received the other bids in writing <br />yet and he is not sure that those proposals are making an "apples to <br />apples" comparison. It wiii take 6-8 weeks to get the console after it <br />is ordered. <br />Mr. Flynn asked if Council wanted to wait until the next Caucus before <br />making a decision. <br />Chief Stevens said they are in the middle of trying to compare informal <br />bids. <br />Mr. Rinker, seconded by Mr. Santoro, made a motion to amend the agenda <br />to include a resolution accepting a bid from Western Reserve <br />Communications for the purchase of a fire/police radio console from <br />Western Reserve Communications in the amount of $24,000. <br />Mr. Ramos stated the title for the legislation: "Resolution No. 89-67, <br />entitled; A RESOLUTION DECLARING AN EMERGENCY AND AUTHORIZING THE <br />ACCEPTANCE OF A BID FOR THE PURCHASE OF A FIRE/POLICE RADIO CONSOLE <br />FROM WESTERN RESERVE COMMUNICATIONS IN THE AMOUNT OF $24,000."
