ETS-R-0074A-21 - Amendment to Resolution ETS-R-0074-21, issued to Motorola  
Solutions, Inc. PO 921051/5522-1, to allow for the exchange of Remote Speaker  
Microphones as requested by Fire agencies, to increase the funding in the amount of  
$55,582.20, resulting in an amended contract total of $37,410,364.43, an increase of  
0.15%.  
Vice Chair Franz asked for a summary on this item. Ms. Zerwin said at the time the  
contract was approved, there was not an NFPA approved remote speaker microphone  
(RSM) with channel select for the fire radios. She said there are some agencies that prefer  
the RSM with the channel select. She stated that several meetings ago, she asked the  
seated Members at the time if they would agree to allow the change and pickup the cost  
difference, there was consensus. Ms. Zerwin said the change order was being brought  
forward now, without waiting for additional items to be ready, in order to move on the  
fire portable radio deployment forward. She said the RSM exchange is not a one-to-one  
because some of the standard RSMs would be kept in stock as the supply chain is still a  
bit slow.  
On voice vote, all Members voted “Aye”, motion carried.

DEDIR SYSTEM  
8.A. Police  
PAC Chair Selvik said they were trying to move along encryption and deployment of the fire  
portables as quickly as possible. He said there are a number of things that need to be done, one  
of which was the exchange of the RSMs just approved and said thank you, a list of channels to  
be encrypted has been provided to Motorola, the console project was ready and in-process. PAC  
Chair Selvik said they are also working on the WAVE application as well as the inquiries  
regarding CommandCentral Aware. He said a joint focus group meeting was being arranged  
between police and fire with representatives from Motorola to answer questions related to the  
WAVE application and its security features, and consideration to agencies that the Real Time  
Crime Center (RTTCs) would have logins to CommandCentral Aware and there are issues to  
work through.  
8.B. Fire  
Vice Chair Franz inquired into a timeline and PAC Chair Selvik said they are working on it, but  
to lock in a timeline now would be a little presumptuous. There were no further questions.  
Chair Schwarze thanked the PAC Members for their efforts.
