Staff presents two compliant bids for mass-notification system; staff to gather follow-up questions
Summary
After three vendors from the initial procurement chose not to rebid, two companies (Genesis and one listed as Gov) submitted compliant bids for Statham City's mass-notification system; staff said the system will be cloud-based and require resident registration for weather alerts and will forward vendor answers to council questions.
Statham City staff told council members they received two compliant bid responses in the second procurement for a mass-notification system: Genesis and a vendor referenced in materials as Gov. The first round saw three vendors decline to rebid.
Staff explained the proposed systems are cloud-based and will require residents to register for weather alerts; notifications would be pushed through the vendor systems and integrated with the National Weather Service ‘NWS’ feed where appropriate. Pricing details are included in council bid packets but were not read aloud at the meeting; the presenter (Cheryl) offered to follow up with vendors on council questions and share responses with council members.
The presenter prefaced her remarks by saying, “I am not a techie,” and asked council members to forward any technical questions so staff can collect vendor answers. No contract award was announced at the meeting.
