So, what does it mean now that Kern County has awarded Motorola Solutions the contract to update their communications system? My gut tells me first and foremost that they likely overpaid. Lol! Just kidding, of course. For all I know, Motorola may well have been the best way to go, although I'm quite sure there'll be those who'll question how Kern arrived at the decision they ultimately made, especially, when that decision came in five million dollars ABOVE the other guys! At the very least, the taxpayers will be scratching their heads wondering just what criteria their county uses when awarding big ticket items like this one.
