 13.A   For Possible Action:  Discussion and possible action regarding an amendment to Contract No. 1819-001, a joinder contract with Inter-State Oil Company, Carson Valley Oil, Co., and Flyers Energy, LLC, through the State of Nevada RFQ/Contract #3064, for bulk fuel and delivery services, and with Thomas Petroleum, LLC through the State of Nevada RFQ/Contract #3125, cardlock fueling network, for an additional $110,000 for a new not to exceed amount of $962,140 from various city fuel accounts through June 30, 2019. (Carol Akers, CAkers@carson.org and Zach Good, zgood@carson.org) 

Staff Summary:  This increase will add an additional amount of $110,000 for the remaining fiscal year.

 13.B   For Possible Action: Discussion and possible action regarding a proposed Interlocal Agreement between Carson City and the Nevada Department of Transportation providing for the use of the Statewide Public Safety Radio Communications System for an amount not to exceed $5,076,000 for the initial ten-year term and not to exceed $634,500 per year in the subsequent renewal terms. (James Jacklett, jjacklett@carson.org)   Agreement Number P697-16-016 (part 1)       Agreement Number P697-16-016 (part 2)

Staff Summary: This agreement will allow Carson City to utilize the Statewide Public Safety Radio Communications System (Radio System) to reduce operational costs, improve interagency interoperability, enhance radio communication, and meet homeland security initiatives for radio communications. The operational costs will consist of an annual fee for unlimited air-time based on the number of City radios units registered and utilized on the Radio System. The coverage, capacity, and resiliency provided by the Radio System will significantly increase the City's communications capability and increase operational readiness. The agreement is for an initial term of ten years and will automatically renew for an additional ten years at the end of each term. The agreement may be terminated by either party with 30 days notice without cause.

 13.C   For Possible Action: Discussion and possible action regarding approval to purchase six dispatch consoles, six back-up base radios, interop gateway equipment, switching equipment and associated services and support through joinder contract #P697-16-016, between Harris Corporation and the Nevada Department of Transportation (NDOT) for a not to exceed amount of $615,946.45 to be funded from the Fleet Radio Equipment Account.  (Carol Akers, Cakers@carson.org and James Jacklett, Jjacklett@carson.org)

Staff Summary:  The existing radio dispatch console system is beyond end-of-life and is no longer supported by the manufacturer. The new dispatch consoles will connect to the Statewide Public Safety Radio System’s geographically redundant core network. Utilizing the Statewide System core will provide savings in excess of one million dollars over the initial 10-year period when compared to purchasing and maintaining our own radio core.  The purchase also includes six back-up radios that will be installed and configured to provide fallback communications capability to ensure that a disruption in connectivity to the Statewide System core will not prevent dispatchers from talking to City resources.
