Title
All Hazards Public Alerting Outdoor Warning Siren System - Purchase
History
The Orland Park Police Department currently has fourteen (14) outdoor weather warning sirens placed throughout the village. The Police Department is currently using a Fulton Technologies Tornado Siren Activation System that was installed in phases that date back to the 1980’s and early 1990’s. Over the past several years, these sirens have needed maintenance and are at the end of their life cycle. The Village of Orland Park issued a RFP seeking prospective bidders to provide pricing of the fourteen (14) sirens of the All Hazards Public Alerting Outdoor Warning Siren System, including the relocation of four (4) current sirens and the installation of one (1) additional siren to address coverage gaps for a total of fifteen (15) sirens. The Village received two (2) bids, the lowest one from Federal Signal in the amount of $379,874.65. The bid from American Signal Corporation is in the amount of $386,077.00.
This agenda item is being considered by the Committee of the Whole and the Village Board of Trustees on the same night.
