Introduction: Contract pricing has have been received from inter-local cooperative partner Houston
Galveston Area Council (HGAC) for Motorola mobile and handheld radios approved in the FY98/99
budget. Radio pricing is within approved budget balances.
Background: Contract pricing from inter-local cooperative partner Houston Galveston Area Council
(HGAC) was solicited for this purchase for two reasons, 1) competitive low pricing based on volume
and 2) contract with Harris County for use of 800 trunked radio system which only allows use of
Motorola radio equipment. Inter-local contract partners are utilized when it is economically beneficial
to the City. HGAC has traditionally specialized in communications equipment and has obtained as
favorable pricing because of the volume of radios included in their bid.
The City of Pearland has a inter-local cooperative agreement to participate in the Houston Galveston
Area Council (HGAC) cooperative purchasing program. This program meets all the requirements of the
Local Government Code for competitive bidding.
Recommendation: Staff recommends award of Motorola radios based on contract pricing from the
Houston Galveston Area Council (HGAC) contract in the amount of $38,777.25. A breakdown of the
expenditure by Department is listed below for information and review.
