Price:

$563,349.36

Justification for Single Source Purchase (what is necessary and unique about the commodity, contractual service, or source; steps taken to confirm unavailability of competition, as appropriate):

The FIN allows federal, state and local agencies bridge communication between disparate radio systems throughout the state that would otherwise impede aid in emergency operations. To secure the network, DMS issued a competitive solicitation in 2004 and the contract was awarded to Motorola for purchase of equipment, installation and maintenance. The Motorola system is still operable and continues to provide these agencies a valuable resource to communicate with each other for daily operations and efficient response in an emergency crisis.

The statewide solution is proprietary to Motorola, which is the only company that can provide the maintenance service and replacement parts for the equipment installed. This purchase is to maintain continuity of service for maintenance of the FIN.

Approved By (names & titles, as appropriate, e.g., requestor, requestor management, information systems, budget, purchasing):

See DP150 routing and approval form.

Failure to file a protest within the time prescribed in Section 120.57(3), Florida Statutes, or failure to file a bond or other security within the time allowed for filing a bond, shall constitute a waiver of proceedings under Chapter 120, Florida Statutes.
