Ayes : Counc il Members Barrent ine, Mccaslin, Moore, Woiosyn, Woodward , Tomasso , Oakley Nays : None (ii) Eng ineering/Cap ital Projects Admini strator Henderson presented a recommendation from the Public Works Department that Council approve , by moti on , a negotiated extension of the 2003 Construction Contract In the amount of $474,720 .00 for Concrete Uti lity 2006, Concrete Program 2006 , and Sidowalk Mis sing Links 2006 . He said, as you may recall from past years , we combl~9 ail three of these Into one contract to take care of the economy of scale and get us better pr icing . The 2006 Concreta Utility 1 ,iii repair concrete in front of approx imately 400 properties , the Conc rete Program will install handicapf)Eod ramps at 43 intersections around the City and the Sidewalk Missing Links location Is not finalized &I th is lime . We would lik e to attend a City Council Study Session and discuss the priori ty list for the Sidewalk Mhlslng Lin <s. The Publ ic Works recommendation Is to continue to extend our current contract with Thoutt Brothers Cor.crete contrar.tors . Thoutt Brothers provided excellent service in 2005 . We were pleased with the ir quality of work , their pric ing and their timeliness . Thoutt Brothers was flexible whenever we added work . Last year we added the Cushing Park Skate facllit)' and we added the traffic med ians that we Installed on West Oxford Avenue and they held their un it pricing and worked with us very well . You may recall that last year there was a rather severe cement shortage and that caused concrete prices to Increase as much as 25%. A lot of contractors couldn't even get co ncrete . Well, Thoutt Brothers did hold to their original bid pric ing and they did complete our projer.t on i ir,;;,, The lncreue th is year Is approximately 8% over 2005 . Staff feels like this Is fa ir, and justHied, based on the lncraue, In fuel coat and also the lncreues In concrete costs . So , we believe It Is In the beat Interest of the City to continua our relationship with Thoutt Brothers for the 2006 program and wa ask for Council's concurrence In awarding th l~ project In the amount of $474 ,720 .00. He sa id I will be happy to answer any questions. Maye ; Woiosyn uked If there were any questions . Englewood City Council Aprll 3, 2006 Pege8 Council Member Woodward said on the 8% Increase , Is that tor appro ximately the same amount of concrete and the second question la, do they perceive any shortages? I know right at the end of the season last year, with Hurricane Katr ina, It was a major problem tor the whole city and tor the country . Mr. Henderson sa id you know we were quite concerned and , In tact , when we did estimating tor th is year we went ahead and we estimated 25% higher . The tact that Thoutt Brothers was able to otter us 8% and put th is in writing and we 'll be able to sign a contract, which they will honor ... we don't really have to worry ii the pr ices go up . Though we don't think they will be allected as much as we teared at first. Mr. Woodward said okay. Mayor Wolosyn asked ii there were any other quest ions . There were none . COUNCIL MEMBER OAKLEY MOVED, AND IT WAS SECONDED , TO APPROVE AGENDA ITEM 11 (c) (II) • A NEGOTIATED EXTENSION OF THE 2003 CONSTRUCTION COtflRACT IN THE AMOUNT OF $474,720.00 FOR CONCRETE UTILITY 2006, CONCRETE PROGRAM 2006 , AND SIDEWALK MISSING LINKS 2006. Mayor Wolosyn asked ii there was any additional discussion . There was none . Vote results : Motion ca rr ied . Aye s: Council Members Barrentine, Mccaslin , Moore , Wolosyn , Woodward , Tomasso, Oakley Nays : None Mayor Wolosyr, said thank you Dave . (iii) Research and Technology Manager Everhart present ed a recommendation from the Safety Services Department that Council approve , by motion , the replacement of prev iously purcha :ed mob ile radios wit h the more rel iable Motorola 800 MHz model. The Motorola rad ios will be at the same costh which is $114 ,671 .04 . She said as you are aw are, we went live with the 800 MHz radio system on January 91 of this year and all went well with the except ion of our mobil e rad ios , which are installed in our pol ice and lire ve hicl es. They are EF Johnson radios . We discovered that they do have a serious issue with the radios ... that they drop partial or entire transm issions, thu s they are not reliable tor publ ic safety . We did purchase those originally through a Homeland Security UASI Grant . We are asking to replace those radios with City funds . We would then go forward with reirr,bc:,sement from EF Johnson , tor the rad ios that we currently have . They have been olllcially notified . Those letters were sent last week and they were not ified prior to that , of our intent. When we realized our issues with the radios, EF Johnson sent out several teams of engineers and between Safety Service s personnol and EF Johnson personnel, we have spent countless hours test in g, making changes and waiting tor EF Johnson to come up with a solution to this Iss ue . They hav e been unable to do that so tar . The Motorola radios currently do work on the State system and very well without this issue and that is why I'm respectfully asking tor permiss ion to replace the radios with the Motorola models and provide Safety Services personnel with reliable commun ic at ion in the ir vehicles . Mayor Wolosyn asked ii there were any quest ions tor Ms. Everhart . Counc il Member Oakley said Trina , do yo . consider this a software or a hardware prob le m? Ms . Everhart said It Is a little bit of both . What the radios are dolng ... ls they move about , they are not finding the right site and so It Is a little bit of both . One final soluti on that EF Johnson tried, was a tilter on the radio as an P.dditlonal part to the radio and that was unsuccessful as well. So even In talking with the State radio •:•stem enr,ineers , they actually feel , as well , that It Is a combin ation of a ha rdware and software problem within the radio . Mr. OaklB)' said is th ere any other EF Johnson radios In service In the State of Colorado that are working property? Ms . Ev'9rhart said there are radios In the Firestone Po llc e ::apartment and Franktown Fire and both of those agenc lc:. bre having the same Issues as we are . I was actually notified this altemoon that Frar,ktown Fire will be return ing their radios as well . • • • • • • Englewood City Council Aprll3, 2006 Page7 So, Mr. Oakley said, what Ii our ohance o! getting cur full rotvlld? Ms . Everhart said I h•ven'I t.eard back from EF Johnson since they hue bien notified . There was arnmtity In TayIorsvllle, Utah which harJ similar Issue~, returned their radios an« did receive a refund . The radios are still under warranty. The local vendor, which Is Wideband Communications, Is •upportlng p full refund through EF Johcton an d has nolitled EF Johnson that they expect that for us as well. M~wt;,er, worst caso 111:enario, the funds of $114,000 .00 would come from the radio CERF funds from the Capital Projects Fund ar:d :he 800 MHz 11.11ds from the Public Improvement Fund that we have available . Mayor Woiosyn asked it there any other question ~. Council Member Woodward salcj just this, Motorola ra ~i os , did I hear you say those have been tried out and those were working? Ms . Everhart said absolutely . W:r . Woodw ard said okay and then just lollowing up on Wayne's question about financing . We are expectin\j and hoping for a total reimbursement lrom EF Johnson and any shortfall? Did we have this contract through tr .. State? Ms . Everhart said through the UASI Grant and th e fiscal agent was in Denver . I have been in touch with ,hem and they have advised rne that alter the grants, that any warranty issues lall back to the agenc ies that rece ived the radios . Counc il Member Barrent ine said I know the Homeland Security piece of it was so that everybody could keep in communication with each other and have similar equipment. Is that sti ll bein y accomplished with this? Ms . Everhart said yes it is and , actually, there are 428 agenc ies that are currently on the State System. Us ing the Motorolas , switching out that equipment , would definitely lacilitate reliable communication throughout the State . We do have Motorola portable hand-held radios and we have had no iss ues with those whatsoever since we have gone live . l,c uncil Member Woodward said we are still using our other system as backup rig ht now anyway , righ t? Ms. Everhart sa id the VHF is still in place as well . Counc il Member Mccaslin said my qu est ion , m.sybe ,n can answer, is what would prevent us from getting a lull refund? City Attorney Brc ,. ·.1an sa id tor us to get a lull relund .. the issue is the timing ol getting the relu nd. Mr. Mccaslin said okay. Mayor Woiosyn as ked it there were any more questions . There were none . COUNCIL MEMBER WOODWARD MOVED, AND IT WAS SECONDED, TO APPROVE AGENDA ITEM 11 (c) (Ill)· THE REPLACEMENT OF PREVtOUSL Y PURCHASED MOBILE RADIOS WITH THE MORE RELIABLE MOTOROLA 800 MHz MODEL . THE MOTOROLA RADIOS WILL BE AT THE SAME COST, WHICH IS $114,671 .04. Mayor Wolosyn asked it there was a. y further discussion . There was none . Volt re1ult1 : Ayes: Counc il Members Barrentine , Mccaslin, Moore , Wolosyn, Woodward, Tomasso, Oakley Nays : None Motion carried. Ms . Everhart said thank you . 12 . General Dl1cu11lon (a) Mayor's Choice Englewood City Council April 3, 2006 Page& (I) Mayor Wolosyn sa id I would like to address Mark Swanson 's concerns .

So , I hope how this pol ic y will be implem ented , is commun ica ted tr ''1e m an d th ey can go ah ea d and move forward . Direc tor Olson sa id ii I could ju s· make a comment on that. At the end of the Study Session , we had so me very sign ificant discus sions with the Alarm Asso ciation and they are go ing to be work ing with us ... actuall y do ing qu ite a bit ol the work ... to get th is informat ion out to the , approximately , 400 alarm compani es that they have identified so tar . So , they are going to be do ing qu ite a bit ol that and we will work with them hand in glove on this to make sure that the Information gets out there in a ti mely mann er. Ms . Barrentine said in that part icular case, it was less of an issue with our pol icy , about what we ware go ing to change , then it was about how this part icular company had int erpret ed it...which, I don't believe , was accurate.

Well , that didn 't make them fee l comfortable and I can understand that...nobody wants to go to that kind of expense , put the effort and time In and maybe not have It approved . They wan t to follow the rules . Tric ia was very nice to come out after wo rk, drive by there ... since they had cement people waIting ... she was very nice to come out right away and take care of that , so that they fel t comfortable to con ti nue on with the ir work.
