Finance: Council Notes: 7;a-5( 2-010- 13Y Aoenda Item Nn_ 'IQCi STAFF REPORT SUBJECT Resolution amending the purchase agreement with Motorola in the amount of$40,118.85 for communication equipment. BACKGROUND On April 5, 2010, the Mayor and Common Council approved resolution #2010-60 authorizing the execution of an agreement and issuance of a purchase order to Motorola in the amount of $40,118.85 for communication equipment. This was a sole source purchase of 800 MHz radios directly from Motorola. These radios are standardized proprietary communication devices that integrate with the city-owned 800 MHz trunked radio system. The city-owned system is a subset of a larger county-wide system which enables city public safety personnel to communicate with other departments within the county. In processing the purchase agreement to obtain the necessary signature, the vendor notified the Fire Department staff that they would not agree to the terms and conditions of the City's agreement. Therefore, Fire staff referred the issue to the City Attorney's Office for resolution. The vendor has requested new terms and conditions that require Mayor and Common Council approval. The requested changes to the previous contract consist of the following: • Section 2(c)was added to require payments to the Vendor within 30 days after the date of the invoice. • Section 3 — language was added to make the City liable to the Vendor for equipment ordered or provided to the date of notice to terminate if the City decides to terminate the Agreement by 30 days written notice. • Section 4 — the Vendor requested substitution of the City's warranty language with its standard warranty language. • Section 6 — Vendor requested removal of the insurance requirements since it does not insure its equipment. • Section 11 — Vendor requested substitution of its Assignment language to allow assignment of the Agreement to one of its affiliates without prior written consent of the City. • Section 18 — language was added to provide for addition of freight charges to the invoices, as well as providing for title to equipment passing to the City upon shipment while title to the Software will not pass to the City at any time. 1 • Section 20 — Vendor requested inclusion of a limitation of liability clause which limits damages for breach of contract, warranty, negligence, strict liability in tort, indemnification, or otherwise, but excluding personal injury and death, to not exceed the price of the equipment or software. It also precludes recovery of special, incidental, indirect or consequential damages related to or arising from the Agreement, as well as precludes actions under the Agreement that are brought more than one year after the accrual of a cause of action, except for money due upon an open account. FINANCIAL IMPACT There is no financial impact to the General Fund. Purchase order number 303375 has been issued to Motorola for eleven (11) XTS 5000 Model III radios and accessories is not-to-exceed $40,118.85. The 2008 Metropolitan Medical Response System Grant funds, account #123-804-5704, has been encumbered for the procurement of the communication equipment.
