Body
BACKGROUND
This action does not encumber funds; the purpose of a service contract is to establish firm pricing for services, for a specific term, which are ordered on an as needed basis.
This Supplemental Agreement will provide for continued professional radio engineering services to assist in the installation of a replacement P25 compliant radio system that meets both current and future radio technology needs for the City and Dallas County.
The engineering firm will assist with overseeing acceptance and implementation of the City's new P25 Radio System. The firm's services include, but are not limited to:

The contracted firm's specific knowledge and history with the City's radio system make it essential, as well as cost effective, to extend the contract.
