Oxnard--The Public Works & Transportation Committee, Tuesday, January 23, approved an agreement with Telcom Inc. for mobile radio equipment, parts, and accessories, along with installation, repair, and maintenance services for its police and fire department radios.
The agreement is for one year with an option to extend for four additional one-year periods, with the five-year maximum contract not exceeding $900,000 on an on-call, as-needed basis with minimal downtime.
Funding begins in fiscal year 2023-2024, and there is sufficient funding in all departments in the City Council-approved budget. Subsequent funding will be requested during the annual budget process.
The Oxnard Police and Fire departments operate 24 hours a day, seven days a week, and provide a full range of emergency and non-emergency services to the community. The departments must be able to communicate in any situation via two-way radios installed on their vehicles.
To maintain this service, Fleet Services requires service and repairs to be performed by Telcom from time to time under the direction of Fleet Services.
Jose Arreola, Fleet Services Manager, presented the agreement and said the departments use Motorola and JVC Kenwood two-way radios for the Oxnard Police and Fire Departments for emergency response vehicles and equipment.
