130 2. The Committee feels that a maintenance contract arrangement is preferable to maintenance on a time and materials basis. A contract provides incentive for the firm to provide 24 hour -7 day week emergency coverage and also encourages the contractor to stock the most commonly needed parts. 3. The Committee recommends that Airwaves Communications be awarded a contract thru June 30 in the amount of $950.00 per month. We recommend that repairs begin immediately on the police radio system in accordance with the estimate submitted by Airwaves to bring these units up to acceptable standards to be maintained by the maintenance contract agreement. Other recommendations of improvements to the system should be implemented when practical. The maintenance proposal by Airwaves includes all parts and labor on radio equipment excluding microphone cords, vacuum tubes, antennas, and batteries. Installations will be on a time and material basis. 4. The Committee finds that over the years, the city staff has failed to exercise proper managerial control of radio maintenance. The committee recommends that all repairs made should be documented by a service invoice including the following information: make of radio, model of radio, serial number, complaint, type of repair made, itemized, itemized parts lists, number of hours for repair, and a statement of any frequency or modulation adjustments. These records should be kept by the city for a minimum of two years. Submitted by Michael Malone, Billy Joe Burnett, and Travis Wortham.
