Commissioners strike L3 Harris microwave-link quote; staff to pursue warranty and maintenance

County staff presented a PSPC L3 Harris Technologies quote of $500,253.10 to remove and replace a failed microwave link between Rogers County University and Chelsea. A staff member recommended striking the item from the agenda so the county could first pursue warranty and maintenance agreement options with Harris.

"I believe at this point it's my best to strike this agenda item. You are comfortable with me pursuing with the warranty and with the maintenance agreement with Harris to see what they will do as far as replacement and repair of this," the staff member said. The commissioners voted to strike the item and asked staff to pursue the warranty and report back if replacement remains necessary.

No vote to purchase was taken. The board directed staff to continue negotiations and to return with options if warranty or maintenance agreements do not resolve the link failure.
