Commission approves $12,670 battery replacement for outdoor warning sirens
Summary
Cole County authorized a sole-source contract to replace batteries in 14 outdoor warning sirens with Outdoor Warning Consulting LLC, a cost the county expects to recover through a state reimburseable grant. Commissioners approved the payment by voice vote.
Cole County Commissioners on June 23 approved payment to Outdoor Warning Consulting LLC to replace batteries in 14 outdoor warning sirens.
Staff said the work went through a sole-source process and that the county did not include the vendor quote in the meeting packet. “This is to replace the outdoor warning siren batteries that are out of date. It's 14 in total,” a staff presenter said, and added the cost will be reimbursed by a state grant after the county expends funds.
The total cost stated in the meeting record is $12,670. A commissioner moved to approve payment to Outdoor Warning Consulting LLC for that amount; the motion was seconded and passed by voice vote (three ayes recorded).
Staff clarified that this battery replacement is separate from a siren struck by lightning, noting the county is still working through an insurance claim for that separate incident.
The record does not include the vendor quote in the packet or details on the competitive procurement justification beyond the stated sole-source finding.
