Atoka council approves monitored lighting service for new tower at $510/month
Summary
Council approved a five-year service agreement to have a vendor monitor and maintain FAA lighting on the new tower for about $510 per month, shifting post-warranty maintenance responsibility off the city.
Council approved a separate service agreement to monitor and maintain FAA-required lighting on the new communications tower at an estimated $510 per month for up to five years.
Mr. Mullins presented the monitored-service option for lighting, explaining that if RFIP installs the embedded lighting system the city would inherit responsibility for repairs once the warranty expires. He described a vendor service that continuously monitors lighting, notifies the vendor of malfunctions and dispatches technicians to repair lights—"If their lighting malfunctions for any waveform or fashion, it notifies them via a message system, and they're responsible," he said. The vendor quoted a monthly fee of $510 (after a stated Oklahoma discount) with no upfront charge; council approved the service agreement by roll-call vote.
Council members discussed contract length and the option to purchase equipment after the service term. Staff and vendors will finalize contract terms and guarantee periods before the city executes the agreement.
