Committee approves 10‑year subscription for school‑zone flasher support
Summary
The board authorized a 10‑year subscription and warranty for the Fairfield Elementary school‑zone flashing lights, approving a Telco Group agreement not to exceed $3,960 to maintain connectivity and remote clocking.
The township board approved a 10‑year subscription plan with Telco Group to provide connectivity and warranty support for the flashing school‑zone lights at Fairfield Elementary.
The manager introduced the proposal, saying the current contract ends on Aug. 20, 2026: “The contract that we have right now, it ends on 08/20/2026,” the Manager said. The subscription would cover connectivity and a support warranty; materials and shipping are included, but installation is not.
A committee member moved to authorize the 10‑year subscription, not to exceed $3,960. The motion was seconded and the board voiced assent. The motion record in the transcript shows affirmative vocal votes ('Aye'), but individual vote tallies were not recorded in the transcript.
The subscription is intended to allow staff to remotely synchronize the school lights with a cellular time clock and to provide technical support if connectivity or timing issues occur, addressing past complaints that one light would operate while another would not due to timer discrepancies.
The board did not discuss installation costs in detail; the subscription covers materials and shipping only. Next steps are for staff to finalize the contract with Telco Group and return with any final contract documents if required by procurement rules.
