STAFF REPORT
September 13, 2023
File Number 0600-10; A- 3475
SUBJECT: APPROVAL OF PUBLIC SERVICES AGREEMENT WITH WISCONSIN LDV, INC. FOR THE PURCHASE OF A CUSTOM MOBILE COMMAND CENTER
BACKGROUND
On October 27, 2021, the City Council approved the request to fund a $1,500,000 new Mobile Command Center (also called a Command Vehicle) purchase. Funds are currently established in the CIP Budget under the General Capital Projects Fund.
The City of Escondido’s proposed Mobile Command Center is intended to provide community safety during events with large crowds, disaster response, and emergency operations. The Mobile Command
Center is a large vehicle that can be rapidly deployed and provide advanced technologies for quick and reliable communication. This asset enhances the efficient deployment of personnel and resources to respond to the needs of the community.
Careful research by a team of Police, Fire, Information Systems, and Fleet Department staff members has determined that Wisconsin LDV Inc. (LDV) has the ability and pricing to provide the new Mobile Command
Center.
An LDV product allows for regional interoperability because other local municipalities have also used LDV for their mobile command centers. This interoperability enhances mutual aid during large scale events
such as wildfires, natural disasters, or mass casualty tragedies.
LDV is the only vendor that can provide a regionally interoperable vehicle that meets the City of Escondido’s specific needs. LDV builds its vehicles to the specifications of the buyer. They design, install, and warranty all required components.
The proposed Mobile Command Center will enhance community safety during events with large crowds, disaster response, and emergency operations.

Old story from 1985 when Escondido wanted to buy mobile command center.
Donations Sought for $200,000 Emergency Van : Escondido Residents Given a ‘Code 99’ Request
FEB. 28, 1985
Wolford’s plan to forestall a potentially disastrous communications breakdown is for the City of Escondido to obtain a new, state-of-the-art radio communications van. However, the van’s $200,000 price tag is far beyond the city’s means in these times of tight budgets.

This custom mobile command center features a Freightliner M2 106 conventional cab chassis with a Cummins L9 360HP diesel engine with an Allison 3000EVS automatic transmission. The all aluminum body features four of our in-house fabricated flat floor slide-outs. LDV’s exclusive Intel-I-Touch™ vehicle automation system simplifies the setup of the vehicle on scene. We added a vehicle leveling system and Extreme Duty body storage compartments as well for gear. Entry into the vehicle is by swing out curbside door or rear entry door. A complete emergency lighting and siren package has also been added along with bright LED scene lights. We also added a weatherproof exterior workstation and an electronics charging station.
Inside, there is a front conference room with spider base and flip down seating for staff. LED lighting is utilized throughout. A large display monitor has been wall mounted to the front wall. There is also a single workstation in the front room. The center of the vehicle features a lavatory and a large electronics rack to house all of the installed equipment. Magnetic soft close pocket doors are utilized for privacy. There is a rear work room with three workstations, each with a spider base task chair. We prewired the vehicle for communications radios. Commercial grade aluminum cabinetry is utilized for gear storage. The rear room is a dedicated dispatch area for two staff members. Wall mounted displays are included in this area.
Additional features include: TriMark keyless entry system, pressurized water supply for lavatory, electric hot water heater, five ducted low profile rooftop A/C units, 25kW liquid cooled generator and more.
