Title
Anything Weather Multi-Year Service Agreement
History
In 2020, the Village upgraded the lighting protection warning system used in Village Parks by replacing the Thor Guard system with the Anything Weather iStrike Lightning Warning System. Thor Guard system predicted the likelihood of lighting while the Anything Weather system reports actual lightning and its proximity to a specific location.
Initially, the system was placed in three Village parks including: Centennial Park, the Centennial Park Aquatic Center and the John Humphrey Complex. Subsequently, in 2022, two additional units were procured for Cachey Park and Schussler Park.
Staff proposed to maintain its collaboration with Anything Weather and initiate a multi-year agreement for the annual site license and lightning detection services. The anticipated costs for the Village for five site licenses are as follows: $9,995 in 2024, $10,495 in 2025, and $10,995 in 2026. Upon the conclusion of the contract terms in 2026, staff intends to request updated pricing for a three-year term and explore options for either extending the contract or selecting an alternative service provider.
Staff recommends approving the multi-year agreement with Anything Weather for the iStrike Lighting Detection Services.
