Emergency radio system contract still up for grabs
By Jason Mohr - IR Staff Writer - 01/21/04
Helena Independent Record, MT -

A special review team will consider multi-million dollar bids to build a new
emergency radio system.
Lewis and Clark County officials received bids last week; a recommendation is
due to the County Commission by Feb. 20.

Proposals from Motorola and Tyco Electronics filled the pages of three-ring
binders. The value of their bids was $3.3 million and $3.5 million,
respectively.

Relm Wireless Corp. of Florida bid on radios and mobile unit, but no
infrastructure like towers. The value of their bid was not immediately known.

The project is partially funded by the public safety mill levy.
A Billings company will construct a new rodeo arena at
the Lewis and Clark County Fairgrounds.

Western Ranch Supply was awarded the contract for
$50,241 for improvements including new gates and
holding pens.

Four firms vied for the project. The County Commission
made their decision at a town meeting in Augusta Jan.
9.

After months of refinement, the city's Open Lands
Management Plan is entering the home stretch.

Concerns about dogs, dog poop, mountain bikers, trail
maintenance, the "H" and other issues have been
mostly ironed out, according to Helena Parks and
Recreation Department Director Randy Lilje.

Helena City Commissioners will hold a public hearing on
the plan, most likely in February.

Public health officials plan to test their ability to respond to acts of
bioterrorism today.
The "tabletop" exercise at Fort Harrison involves various public officials and
representatives from St. Peter's and the Veteran Administration hospitals.

According to a press release from public health nurse Sara Wakefield, the
exercise "is to make sure each agency understands its role in a public health
emergency and how to work together."

Infection control, the legal issues of isolation and quaratine, and criminal and
disease investigations are some of the issues to be addressed at the exercise.
