FC CASE <br /> <br />AWARD BID FOR WARNING SIREN REPLACEMENT <br /> By: Police Chief Jim Way <br /> <br />Background: <br /> <br />On February 11, 2005, the City of Ramsey Police Department released requests for <br />proposals for the replacement of two (2) outdoor warning sirens. The City replaced six <br />(6) sirens in 2004. <br /> <br />q'he City received proposals from three (3) vendors: Vinco, Inc. $22,800, RT Electric <br />$22,470.20 and American Signal Corporation $25,900. <br /> <br />After reviewing the bids and evaluating the sirens that the City currently uses, Staff feels <br />that keeping the replacements the same as the sirens installed by American Signal in 2004 <br />is in the best interest of the City. Keeping the same units will mean that we will not have <br />a mix of brands in the field. Maintenance is much easier if one vendor can provide <br />general service and wmTanty work to all units. <br /> <br />Recommendation: <br /> <br />Staff' recommends that council authorize contracted replacement of the outdoor warning <br />sirens be awarded to American Signal Corporation, 4801 W. Woolworth Ave, <br />Milwaukee, WI 53218. <br /> <br />Council Action: <br /> <br />Motion by City Council to adopt Resolution 05-04-XXX authorizing the contracted <br />equipment replacement of two (2) outdoor warning sirens with American Signal <br />Corporation, per the terms and conditions of the contract. <br /> <br />Reviewed by: <br /> <br />Police Chief <br />City Administrator <br />I:inancc Officer <br /> <br />FC: 04/12/05 <br /> <br /> <br />
