Killdeer approves $14,475 fire-alarm installation for fire station
Summary
To meet rising capacity and safety needs at the fire station, the commission approved a complete fire-alarm system installation from System Technology for $14,475; staff said the alarm system and monitoring are less costly than full suppression equipment at this time.
Staff reported that the fire station is nearing a threshold where suppression could be required; staff proposed installing a monitored fire-alarm system as a cost-effective alternative for now. "I have that price here in front of you guys from System Technology for the $14,475, and that's a complete install," the presenting staff member said, describing the system as a turn-key installation that includes electrical work and monitoring.
Commissioners moved to approve the System Technology contract for $14,475. The motion passed by voice vote; staff said the system hard-lines into the station's internet and includes strobe lighting and integrated monitoring. The decision was framed as a safety upgrade that delays the need for a more expensive suppression system estimated at roughly $100,000.
