Title
Repair and Replacement of Siren #7 Located at 171st and Wolf Road
History
On 5/28/2013, siren #7 located at 171st and Wolf Road was struck by a vehicle severely cracking the pole. The siren was completely knocked off the pole and destroyed.
On 6/2/2013, Fulton Technologies our siren repair and maintenance company provided us with an estimate of $14,500.00 for the repair and installation.
Financial Impact
The estimated cost of repair/and installation will be approximately $15, 950.00 which will be charged to the insurance fund. The village is pursuing reimbursement from the insurance company (State Farm) of the vehicle's driver.
Recommended Action/Motion
I move to approve the repair/installation of a new siren and pole at 171st and Wolf Road at a cost not to exceed $15,950.00 which includes $14,500.00 for repair and installation and a 10% contingency and to waive the bidding process due to the emergency nature of the request since Fulton Technologies has been our reliable siren repair/maintenance company for over two decades providing reliable service and maintenance over that time.
