The City of Bakersfield’s Police Department utilizes portable (handheld) radios for communications to and from the officers in the field. The attached agreement with SC Communications provides for maintenance and support services for radios that are no longer covered by the manufacturer warranty. This includes repairs or replacement of the radios due to damage to certain components and the radio unit housings. This service greatly increases staff’s ability to ensure radio equipment is in an operable condition of the Police Department’s personnel. The amount of the agreement is for $57,812.64 and covers 688 portable radios through Dec 31, 2021.
