WHEREAS, it is recognized that the General Electric bid both
for mobile equipment and base station and control equipment is lower
than the Motorola bid, i.e., $2,481.70 on the mobile equipment and
$1,659 difference on the base station and control equipment, and
WHEREAS, it must be recognized that acceptance of the low
bid from General Electric will necessitate the installation of two
sets for each vehicle as opposed to one set per vehicle for the
Motorola equipment in order to participate properly in the San Diego
County Mutual Aid Fire System, and
WHEREAS, said differences would dictate that the Motorola
bid be accepted and the differences as set forth herein and found to
be factual by the City Council would make the two proposals substan-
tially equal.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the City Council of the
City of Chula Vista does hereby concur with the acceptance of bid and
award of contract to Motorola as set forth in the bid evaluation of
the City of San Diego dated October 19, 1970, and does hereby amend
Resolution No. 5845 adopted by the City Council on the 3rd day of
November, 1970.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the following reasons are urged
for the City Council's immediate consideration and acceptance and
award of said contract:
1. There is a great urgency that the Fire Department be
allowed to become a participant in the San Diego County Fire Com-
munications Network in order that we may become a fully participating
member of the San Diego County Master Mutual Aid Plan.
2. An amount was budgeted which would, according to the
vendor, be sufficient to convert existing equipment. This later was
determined to be not enough.
3. Change of frequency by the Fire Department will correct
an interference problem now hampering both Police and Fire Department
communications.

BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Fire Chief of the City of
Chula Vista also concurs with the recommendations of the Communications
Division of the City of San Diego in favoring the Motorola equipment
for the following reasons:
1. It is the low bid when trade-in value is considered
on existing equipment.
2. The value to the City of utilizing existing equipment
in other City departments.
3. The lower maintenance costs.
4. The simplicity of operations. and the standardization
with other County fire departments will allow greater efficiency.

proposed for purchase is as follows:
14 Mobile Radios (including tax and installation)
1 Base Station (including tax and installation)
4 Handi-talkies (2 additional and 2 to replace older
set not suitable for conversion)
