ITEM 5.3. <br /> <br />~.,y of <br /> <br />River <br /> <br />MEMORANDUM <br /> <br />TO: <br /> <br />FROM: <br /> <br />DATE: <br /> <br />SUBJECT: <br /> <br />Pat Klaers, City Administrator <br />Mayor, and City Council <br />Bruce A. West 7]~4 <br />Fire Chief <br /> <br />January 5, 1998 <br /> <br />1998 Emergency Siren Purchase <br /> <br />In the 1998 budget, under equipment reserve, is a line item for the purchase <br />of one emergency siren to be located in the city of Elk River. At this time I <br />have received a quote from Federal Warning Systems, located in Rochester <br />MN., for one 2001 SRN Federal Signal Corporation emergency siren with the <br />capability of a 5200 ft. range of coverage. The cost of the siren with sales tax <br />and shipping is $10,472.01. <br /> <br />I would like to accept the quote from Federal Warning Systems for the <br />purchase of one new 2001 emergency siren at the cost of $10,472.01. <br />Delivery of the new siren will be approximately 30-45 days. <br /> <br />I would like to update you as to where the newly purchased emergency siren <br />will be located in 1998. Please refer to the first enclosed map showing the <br />existing 15 siren locations within the city of Elk River. The second enclosed <br />map highlights the proposed area of coverage for the newly purchased siren. <br />After discussion with Glen Sundeen, from the Elk River Utilities, the location <br />of Mississippi Road, east of Waco Street has been chosen. Future siren <br />locations in the city of Elk River include; Ranch Road, (County Road 33), and <br />County Road 32; Highway 169 and 217th Av. NW; Elk Lake Rd. and 221st Av. <br />NW; and the area of 211th Av. NW and Ogden St. <br /> <br />Also included in the 1998 equipment reserve budget for emergency sirens is <br />the upgrading of one siren location. The siren, located at Meadowvale and <br />Vale Avenue, is currently on a 40 ft. pole. The ideal siren placement shall be <br />on a 55 ft. pole for proper siren coverage. Therefore, I propose to upgrade the <br />location at Meadowvale and Vale Avenue by removing the 40 ft. pole and <br />placing the siren on a new 55 ft. pole. <br /> <br />The entire project shall entail the purchasing of two new poles at a cost of <br />approximately $800 per pole. The electrical hook-up for the two locations <br />will be $800 per location. The proposed cost for the entire project, (sirens, <br /> <br />13065 Orono Parkway · P.O.
