C' LEE COUNTY Committed Today for a Better Tomorrow LEE COUNTY BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS ITEM ABSTRACT ITEM NO. VI. B. Information Meeting Date: January 6, 2014 XX Action Item _ Consent Agenda SUBJECT Purchase of Telex System for Sheriff's Office DEPARTMENT Lee County Sheriff's Office CONTACT PERSON Lt. David Prevatte REQUEST The Sheriff's Office is requesting to make improvements to the schools communication radio system by purchasing two Telex systems to be stationed at Deep River School and Greenwood School. SUMMARY The Lee County Sheriff's Office is requesting to purchase two Telex systems to be placed at Deep River School and Greenwood School. This system will allow the hand held radio signal to be broadcasted back to the Sheriff's Office with the support of the IP network. This is the best ideal system used by other school campuses to allow the radio signal to be transmitted from the confines of a school building. The total cost per school is $4,080. The project will be performed by our radio vendor Fleet Connect in conjunction with the county's IT department and Lee County Schools IT department. This project will also tie into the Communication Improvement Project with Emergency Management that is budgeted for 2013/2014. BUDGET IMPACT The Lee County Sheriff's Office will use drug asset forfeiture funds to pay for this project. As of 6/31013, the balance in the drug fund was $118, 502.11. Since June 30, 2013, the Board has appropriated $69,300 for other equipment purchases leaving $49,202.11 unappropriated. The fund has taken in $8,920 this year. The cost of the two systems totals $8,120. ATTACHMENT(S) Telex Radio Dispatch information sheets and quotes for the service.
