The Miami-Dade Board of County Commissioners approved an amended resolution authorizing an additional $61,320,728 in expenditure authority for Contract No. D-10253, Motorola Public Safety Radios and Capital Infrastructure, bringing the total modified contract amount to $121,320,728. The contract is used by multiple County departments, including the Miami-Dade Fire Rescue Department (MDFR), Miami-Dade Corrections and Rehabilitation Department (MDCR), and Communications, Information and Technology Department (CITD). The additional allocation supports the replacement of approximately 2,800 aging radios for MDCR, infrastructure upgrades for MDFR, and continued acquisition of portable radios and hardware refreshes for CITD. The contract was established via Resolution No. R-682-22 in the amount of $165,000,000. The resolution was introduced on 2/19/2026, received a favorable recommendation from the Intergovernmental and Economic Impact Committee on 3/11/2026, and was approved as amended by the Board on 6/16/2026, assigned Resolution No. R-539-26. The contract expires on August 3, 2027. Public comment included a representative of L3Harris stating during public comment that the radios cost $8,000 per unit, which was disputed by staff, who stated the cost was $6,400 per unit. Commissioner Cohen Higgins requested to see what other municipal governments of similar size paid for comparable equipment. Vice Chairwoman Milian Orbis raised a pricing discrepancy, noting that dividing the Corrections Department's $21.9 million allocation by the 2,800 radios being purchased resulted in approximately $7,800 per unit, and asked staff to reconcile that with the $6,400 per unit figure. Staff explained that Corrections was purchasing two models of radio at different prices, along with ancillary items such as chargers, batteries, and microphones, and additional services and hardware. Commissioner Cohen Higgins and Vice Chairwoman Milian Orbis requested that staff determine whether other radios could meet the needs of CITD and Corrections before the matter reached the Board. Commissioner Cohen Higgins expressed concern about dependence on a single vendor and emphasized the importance of a competitive process. Commissioner Gonzalez asked about interoperability, and staff confirmed that the radios use the P25 communications protocol, an industry-standard protocol that allows different radios to communicate. The resolution passed by a vote of 12-0, with Senator Garcia absent.

MOTOROLA RADIOS - MOD
Miami-Dade County Board of County Commissioners approved an additional expenditure authority of $61,320,728.00 for Contract No. D-10253, Motorola Public Safety Radios and Capital Infrastructure. This brings the total modified contract amount to $121,320,728.00. The funds are for multiple county departments, including Miami-Dade Fire Rescue Department (MDFR), Miami-Dade Corrections and Rehabilitation Department (MDCR), and Communications, Information and Technology Department (CITD). The MDCR requires replacement of approximately 2,800 aging radios that are nearly 17 years old, exceeding their 7-year useful life. MDFR requires funds for phases one and two of the Integrated Command and Communications Center (IC3), system operations, maintenance, and equipment for new vehicles. CITD requires funds for continued acquisition of portable radios, hardware refreshes, and redundancy enhancements for the Premier One Computer-Aided Dispatch system. The contract was amended and approved by the Board of County Commissioners on June 16, 2026. During the Intergovernmental and Economic Impact Committee meeting on March 11, 2026, concerns were raised regarding the total cost, interoperability, longevity of the system, and pricing per unit. Public comment included a representative from L3Harris stating radios cost $8,000 per unit, which was later clarified by staff to be $6,400 per unit for Motorola radios, with explanations provided for the discrepancy due to multiple models, ancillary items, and services. Commissioners requested further analysis on whether other radios could meet department needs at a lower cost.
