DISCUSSION:
On December 18, 2018 (Item C-6), the Humboldt County Board of Supervisors approved a communications system and services agreement with Motorola Solutions, Inc. regarding the provision of products and services necessary to complete the Humboldt County Regional Radio System Replacement Project.

The attached professional services agreement with CDX Wireless, Inc. comes to the Board after the start date thereof due to inadvertent delays that occurred during the contract development process.

The attached professional services agreement with CDX Wireless, Inc. has a maximum amount payable of One Hundred Sixty-Five Thousand Six Hundred Dollars ($165,600.00) for the period of April 1, 2019 through November 30, 2021. However, if local, state or federal funding is reduced or eliminated, the county may reduce the above-referenced maximum amount payable or terminate the attached professional services agreement with CDX Wireless, Inc. in its entirety.
Expenditure appropriations related to the attached professional services agreement with CDX Wireless, Inc. have been included in the approved fiscal year 2018-2019 budget for County Administrative Office - Communications budget unit 3521-151.
