MEMORANDUM
TO: Mayor Gabriel and Council Members
THROUGH: Paul Ostrander, City Manager
FROM: Tony Prior, Fire Chief
DATE: July 22, 2021
SUBJECT: Ordinance 3227-2021 Accepting Reallocated 2018 SHSP Funds
The City was contacted by the State of Alaska Department of Military and Veterans Affairs to
advise us of reallocated funds from the 2018 State Homeland Security Program Grant that were
available to reapply for. Police and Fire have successfully worked through multiple grants to
replace most of the aging portable radios as the first phase of replacing all portable and mobile
radios. Kenai Police Department was able to completely replace all of their portables and the Fire
Department has replaced 6 of their 19 to date. We applied for funding to replace the remaining
13 portable radios needed to complete phase one for the Fire Department and were awarded
$61,330.15. The total needed to complete the replacement of the 13 radios is $70,999.89. We
are respectfully requesting the additional $9,669.74 be approved to complete this phase of our
radio replacements. These radios will be replacing radios that are no longer supported by the
manufacturer.
This will also require a sole -source approval to Motorola Solutions to purchase the same brand
of radio that we have purchased to date for both Police and Fire. We have requested and have
been approved from the granting agency to sole -source purchase this equipment and are
requesting the same from City Council. Maintenance, operations, programming, parts and
warranty are key to our communications/radio program within Public Safety.
Thank you for your consideration of this Ordinance.
