Summary:
|
School sites in the Perris Union High School District have been using hand held radios for day-to-day communications for custodians, campus supervisors and administrators since 2009 when the District transitioned from Nextel Radios with monthly, per radio fees to conventional UHF Radios with no monthly, per radio fee. Maintenance and Operations also communicates via radio between school sites using a repeater, which is required for the longer distance. A repeater (higher watt radio) listens for the signal from one radio and re-broadcasts it to another radio. Every radio within range of the repeater can hear the signal. In addition to daily communication, the repeater system also provides a built-in emergency communication system for all District sites.
In 2009 the Board approved a five-year agreement with the Elsinore Peak repeater site, which is located in the Cleveland National Forest overlooking the Perris Valley to the east. The 1,800 square foot communications facility offers the Perris Union High School District a fully enclosed building with air conditioning to protect equipment from overheating, a standby generator for backup power, and space on top of the 120 foot tower for the repeater antennas. The site is 3,500 feet in elevation, which provides the height necessary to transmit to all District sites that are approximately 1,400 to 1,500 feet in elevation. In addition, service vehicles have road access, even during inclement weather. After the 5-year agreement expired, the District was able to continue using the Elsinore Repeater site on a month-to-month basis. However, we have recently been offered another five-year Agreement.
The monthly fee for tower space for three repeaters (emergency, custodial and maintenance channels) is $514.35. The term for this Agreement is for five (5) years from September 1, 2017 to August 31, 2022.
Education Code 17604 and 17605: The Governing Board delegates the power to contract and purchase supplies, equipment and services.
