SUMMARY
PROJECT DESCRIPTION:
The Buckeye Fire-Medical-Rescue Department urgently requires 100 new P-25-compliant National Fire
Protection Association 1802 certified radios. The radios are necessary to conduct Hazardous Materials,
terrorist, and mass catastrophic event response activities. The Buckeye Fire-Medical-Rescue
Department's current radios are 13 years old, at the end of their useful life, are not state-of-the-art,
making multi-jurisdictional responses difficult.
BENEFITS:
The radios requested in the grant application will enhance Buckeye Fire-Medical-Rescue Department's
ability to effectively communicate and will benefit multi-jurisdictional response efforts. The new radios will
ensure that the Buckeye Fire-Medical-Rescue Department has reliable communications equipment to
provide exceptional and timely service to the community.
FUTURE ACTION:
If awarded, the Award Agreement will be presented to Council for acceptance and approval.
