DATE: July 20, 2021
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council
FROM: Roy Nakamura, Chief of Police
By: Dr. Jennifer Brutus, Senior Management Analyst
SUBJECT: PROFESSIONAL SERVICES AGREEMENT WITH DAY MANAGEMENT
CORPORATION (DBA DAY WIRELESS SYSTEMS) FOR RADIO
COMMUNICATIONS SERVICES
Recommendation: Approve
SUMMARY
The City’s Professional Services Agreement (“Agreement”) with U.S. Mobile
Communications, Inc. for radio communications services expired on June 30, 2021. The
company merged into Day Management Corporation, but still does business as Day
Wireless Systems (“Day Wireless”). It is recommended that the City Council approve,
authorize, and direct the City Manager to execute a new Professional Services
Agreement with Day Wireless for the period of July 1, 2021, through June 30, 2024, with
the option to renew on an annual basis for a maximum of three additional one-year
periods.
BACKGROUND
Day Wireless has been the Police Department’s (the “Department”) provider of radio
communications services since 2015. For the past six years, the company has been
responsible for servicing all the Department’s Motorola-brand radio communications
equipment and radio service locations including three radio repeater sites within the City:
the Santa Anita Ridge, the Upper Reservoir, and the “Antenna on the Spire” located at
the Arcadia Police Station.
Although Day Wireless’ performance has been positive over the course of the Agreement,
a Request for Proposals (“RFP”) was distributed in May 2021 to ensure the best and most
qualified radio communications services company is being utilized to meet the needs of
the City. Given that it has been approximately six years since the City last bid the contract
for radio communications services, it was appropriate to evaluate whether other radio
communications services companies could provide superior service.

DISCUSSION
After a two-week submission period during which a notice was published four times in the
Arcadia Weekly and three vendors were sent a copy of the RFP, one proposal was
received from Day Wireless on May 13, 2021. The RFP identified the need for local radio
communications services to include installing, maintaining, and repairing all radio
communications and electronic equipment owned and operated by the City in
conformance with established rules and regulations of the Federal Communications
Commission. A committee comprised of four City staff members reviewed and rated the
proposal using a 100-point evaluation system. The proposal was evaluated according to
thoroughness and understanding of work, related experience, references, quality of
proposal, and costs. The figure below provides a summary of the analysis.
Qualification Scores for Proposal for Radio Communications Services
The City contacted the remaining vendors to ascertain why bids were not received. One
vendor explained that they did not meet the minimum requirements of the RFP.
Specifically, the vendor was only capable of supporting the Department’s Kenwood radios
and not its Motorola radios (the RFP identified the need to support both). Another vendor
preferred a more consistent service schedule such as one that would guarantee a set
number of monthly hours/jobs. Due to the current efficiency and effectiveness of the
Department’s current radio system, radio communications services are only needed on
an as-needed/on-call basis. The third vendor did not respond to the request for
information. Overall, the RFP revealed that Day Wireless is the most qualified and best-
suited radio communications provider available for the City.
The proposed Agreement with Day Wireless will cover a term of three years: July 1, 2021,
through June 30, 2024, with the option to renew on an annual basis for three additional
one-year periods. As a Motorola user, the City must obtain repairs at certified service
centers with Motorola Elite Service Specialists (“ESS”) in order to retain product
warranties. Repairs conducted by non-ESS technicians are deemed out of warranty.
Day Wireless’ service center located in the City of Burbank ensures adequate response
times. The company has an Electronics Technician Association Certified Service Center
(“ETA-CSC”) and Certified Electronic Technicians (“CET”) with the Motorola ESS
certification, which provides assurance that the City’s products will stay within warranty
and the company can provide the support that the Department’s communications services
demands.

Day Wireless will continue to be responsible for installing, maintaining, and repairing all
radio communications and electronic equipment owned and operated by the City in
conformance with established rules and regulations of the Federal Communications
Commission. Day Wireless employees will also engage in troubleshooting radio
communications problems and make repairs on-site and off-site on an as-needed basis.
The company will ensure that service is available to the City on an as-needed and on-call
basis, 24 hours a day/7 days a week.
In comparison to FY 2020-21, Day Wireless is proposing an approximate 2.6% increase
for all labor rates. Thus, for the next three years, the City will pay the following regular
hourly billing rates with overtime calculated at a rate of time and one-half of the regular
rates.
The Department will utilize Day Wireless’ services on an as-needed basis, which will not
exceed $80,000 per year. This amount is amount based on a service schedule of 15 hours
per week (estimated to cost $65,000 per year) plus $15,000 per year for contingencies
related to overtime, radio repairs, and materials. Based on past and present needs for
radio communications services, the Department would like to establish an Open Purchase
Order for Fiscal Year 2021-22 in the amount of $45,000; and increase the Purchase Order
amount if needed, as well as in future years.
Therefore, it is recommended that the City Council proceed with establishing a new
Agreement with Day Wireless for radio communications services in an amount not to
exceed $45,000 in the first year and up to $80,000 annually thereafter.
ENVIRONMENTAL ANALYSIS
The proposed action does not constitute a project under the California Environmental
Quality Act (“CEQA”), based on Section 15061(b)(3) of the CEQA Guidelines, as it can
be seen with certainty that it will have no impact on the environment. Thus, this matter is
exempt under CEQA.

Manager to execute a Professional Services Agreement with Day Management Corporation

wrongful death, in any manner arising out of, pertaining to, or incident to any acts, errors or
omissions, or willful misconduct of Consultant, its officials, officers, employees, subcontractors,

failure or alleged failure to comply with the Prevailing Wage Laws. It shall be mandatory upon

$25,000 or more for construction, alteration, demolition, installation, or repair, then pursuant to
Labor Code Sections 1725.5 and 1771.1, the Consultant and all subconsultants performing such
services must be registered with the Department of Industrial Relations. Consultant shall maintain

enforcement by the Department of Industrial Relations. It shall be Consultant’s sole responsibility

affect Consultant’s performance of services, including any delay, shall be Consultant’s sole
responsibility. Any delay arising out of or resulting from such stop orders shall be considered
Consultant caused delay and shall not be compensable by the City. Consultant shall defend,
indemnify and hold the City, its officials, officers, employees and agents free and harmless from
any claim or liability arising out of stop orders issued by the Department of Industrial Relations
against Consultant or any subcontractor.
14. Verification of Employment Eligibility.
By executing this Agreement, Consultant verifies that it fully complies with all requirements
and restrictions of state and federal law respecting the employment of undocumented aliens,
including, but not limited to, the Immigration Reform and Control Act of 1986, as may be amended
from time to time, and shall require all subconsultants and sub-subconsultants to comply with the
same.
15. Laws and Venue.
This Agreement shall be interpreted in accordance with the laws of the State of California.
If any action is brought to interpret or enforce any term of this Agreement, the action shall be
brought in a state or federal court situated in the County of Los Angeles, State of California.
16 Termination or Abandonment
9
a. City has the right to terminate or abandon any portion or all of the work
under this Agreement by giving ten (10) calendar days written notice to Consultant. In such event,
