PROCUREMENT REQUISITIONS  
6.A.  
JPS-P-0022-25  
Recommendation for the approval of a contract to Key Tower, LLC, to provide radio  
tower maintenance and equipment upgrades, for the Sheriff's Office, for the period of  
May 13, 2025 through May 12, 2028, for a contract total not to exceed $211,365; per  
lowest responsible bid 25-010-SHF. (Sheriff's Office)  
Member Yoo asked for an overview of the improvements that have been made to the  
Hidden Lakes Tower. Deputy Chief Dan Bilodeau explained that the tower was acquired  
back in 1988. The Sheriff's office once had an ongoing maintenance contract with a  
company that suddenly closed their business and left the tower in disrepair. Key Tower  
then came out on an emergency basis to repair the lighting on the tower and performed an  
inspection. At that time, the shed that housed the radio equipment was found to be  
collapsing. It is necessary to construct a new shed that meets all code requirements and  
install new wiring for the new radio equipment. Key Tower was the only company that  
bid on this project. Once this upgrade is completed, then the Sheriff's office will seek  
bids for an ongoing radio maintenance contract for all of the towers in the County.  
The motion was approved on a voice vote, all "ayes".
