~;ty of <br /> <br />TO: <br /> <br />ITEM 6.6. <br /> <br />Pat Klaers, City Administrator <br />Mayor & City Council <br /> <br />FROM: <br /> <br />Bruce West <br />Fire Chief <br /> <br />DATE: <br /> <br />January 17, 1996 <br /> <br />SUBJECT: 1996 Emergency Siren Purchase <br /> <br />In the 1996 budget under Equipment Reserve is a line item for the purchase <br />of an Emergency Siren to be located in Elk River. At this time I have <br />received quotes for a Federal Signal Corporation 2001 Emergency Siren with <br />the capability of a 5200 foot range of coverage. The cost of the siren with <br />sales tax and shipping is $10,857.60. Additional discussion with Federal <br />Signal Corporation, it is my understanding that emergency sirens will be <br />increasing in cost approximately 5 to 7 percent in February of 1996. <br /> <br />At this time I would hke to accept the quote from Federal Signal Corporation <br />for the purchase of one new 2001 Emergency Siren at the cost of $10,857.60. <br />Dehvery of the new siren is approximately 30 to 60 days. <br /> <br />I would also hke to update you, at this time, as to where the new purchased <br />emergency siren will be located in 1996. If you refer to the enclosed map of <br />the existing 11 siren locations, you will also find three proposed areas for <br />1996 and 1997 siren locations. I will be looking at, for 1996, the southeast <br />location of Highway 10 and approximately 160th Avenue and also the 209th <br />Avenue area in the northeast quadrant of the city. A future location for a <br />1997 siren will be the northwest area of County Road 32 and 205th. <br /> <br />The relocation of the siren from 202nd and Zane was not completed during <br />1995, due to a location site problem. After further review it was my decision <br />to select an alternate location site for placement of this siren in 1996. <br />Therefore in 1996 with the purchase of one new siren and the placement of <br />the relocated siren we will be adding two sirens for a total of 13 in the City of <br />Elk River. <br /> <br />The project will also entail the purchase of two new poles at the cost of <br />approximately $400 per pole. The electrical hook-up for the two locations <br />will be $750 per location. The proposed cost of the entire project using labor <br />provided by Elk River Utilities will be approximately $13,200. If you have <br />any questions in reference to this issue, please feel free to call me at the Elk <br />River Fire Department, 441-4919. <br />s :Xoffsitekemersir.doc <br /> <br />13065 Orono Parkway · P.O.
