ITEM:

Discussion and possible action on any and all matters regarding the authorization to purchase a 60-foot Sabre Model S3TL self-supporting Category VI tower.  (Fernando Corona, IT Manager)

SUMMARY:

The Information Technology Division is seeking approval to utilize $149,000.00 in AZ DEMA BSF Grant funds to procure a 60-foot Sabre Model S3TL self-supporting Category VI tower. This tower will be used to mount a radio repeater, which is crucial for improving radio communications for San Luis Public Safety, particularly on the city's east side.

The tower construction will be procured through the NASPO State Contract with Sabre Industries, who has provided a quote for the 60-foot Sabre Model S3TL self-supporting Category VI tower at a total cost of $109,792.03. The City of San Luis was approved for the $149,000.00 AZ DEMA BSF Agreement Grant, which will fund this essential project. This investment will ensure that first responders on the east side of the city have reliable communication, thereby enhancing their ability to respond to emergencies, coordinate efforts, and improve overall public safety.

By improving radio coverage in this area, the new tower will strengthen the city's ability to provide critical services, ensuring that first responders can effectively communicate during emergencies. This project is not only an investment in infrastructure, but also in the safety and well-being of the community.

RECOMMENDATION / SUGGESTED MOTION:

I MOVE TO APPROVE THE PURCHASE OF A 60-FOOT SABRE MODEL S3TL SELF-SUPPORTING CATEGORY VI TOWER IN THE AMOUNT OF $109,792.03 UTILIZING THE NASPO STATE CONTRACT.
