From: 
Edward Quedens, Business Services Director

Subject: 
Dollar Limit Increase to the State of Arizona Cooperative Contract for Capital 
Expenditure Agreement for Motorola System Upgrade II (SUA II) for the 
TOPAZ Regional Wireless Cooperative (TRWC) as requested by the 
Department of Innovation and Technology (Sole Source) (Citywide)  
 
Recommendation 
 
The Department of Innovation and Technology (DoIT) and Procurement Services 
recommend increasing the dollar limit with Motorola Solutions, Inc., by $607,000 from 
$13,312,800 to an amount not to exceed $13,919,800, for the remaining term of the 
contract. 
 
Background / Discussion  
 
The Motorola System Upgrade Agreement II (SUA II) provides annual software upgrades, 
upgrades to the network core hardware to support the software upgrades, and technical 
support services for the TOPAZ (TRWC) Public Safety voice two-way radio network.  
 
DoIT is requesting an increase to upgrade the TRWC Fire Hazard Zone (VHF) core 
equipment in support of the public safety radio system. The upgrade to the existing analog 
simulcast VHF radio system will allow for future expansion and support, and will provide for 
the replacement of comparators, which are at the end of life.  
 
The City of Mesa is the Administrative Manager for the TRWC. This will be initially funded 
through DoIT Capital Lifecycle funds, with costs reimbursed by TOPAZ member agencies 
according to the following allocation: City of Mesa Fire & Medical Department, 62.41%; Town 
of Gilbert Fire & Rescue Department, 13.79%; Town of Queen Creek Fire & Medical 
Department, 10.57%; Superstition Fire & Medical District, 9.07%; Town of Fountain Hills Fire 
Department, 3.32%; and Rio Verde Fire District, 0.84%. This item was approved by the 
TRWC Board of Directors at the June 30, 2026 meeting.
