Re: Ordinance 84-97, An Ordinance Authorizing the City Manager to Enter into an
Agreement with Washington Township for the Removal, Procurement, Installation,
Activation, and Maintenance of Outdoor Early Warning Sirens, Waiving
Competitive Bidding and Appropriating Funds Therefor.
Recommendation
Staff recommends City Council pass Ordinance 84-97 for the purpose of removal, procurement,
`"` " installation, testing, maintenance and activation of outdoor early warning sirens and appropriating
funds. Additionally, this project represents a cooperative venture between the City of Dublin and
Washington Township.
Background
As you may know, the City's current outdoor early warning system consists of 20 sirens, owned,
operated and maintained by the City (see attachment 1). These sirens were installed as a two-phase
project in 1989 and 1990. Washington Township currently owns two sirens. One siren is located
at the Township Community Center the other is adjacent to Amlin. These sirens are activated and
maintained for Washington Township by the Franklin County Emergency Management Agency
(FCEMA). Additionally, it should be noted that since the installation of the two Township sirens,
the City has annexed the area to include the siren at the Township Community Center. The current
sirens used by the Township are "directional" sirens meaning that the siren cluster at the top of the
pole must rotate. The City's sirens are "omni-directional." Therefore, the existing Township sirens
pole must rotate. The City's sirens are "omni-directional." Therefore, the existing Township
sirens are not compatible with the City's system. Because the Township was considering
expanding its systems and the FCEMA has discussed the change over of its county-wide system
from "directional" sirens to "omni-directional" sirens, coupled with the need to switch out the
Township Community Center siren, there is no better time than now for the Township to make its
sirens compatible with the City's and for both entities to enhance the existing system. Perhaps
even more important is the need to increase siren coverage at Cosgray Park and Homestead Park.
Project Summary
The following summarizes the project contemplated in this legislation:
1. The Township siren at the Township Community Center will be switched out with a siren
compatible to the City's system. This siren will be owned by the City since it is in the
corporate boundaries. The City will bear the cost of this siren and installation.
2. The Township siren adjacent to Amlin will be switched out with a siren compatible with the
City system. The Township will bear the cost of this siren and its installation.
3. The Township will add a siren at Homestead Park and will bear the cost of siren and
installation.
4. The City and the Township will jointly purchase and install (50/50) a new siren at Cosgray
Park.
5. The City will procure, remove, and install all sirens on behalf of both entities.
6. The City will front all associated costs of the project then be reimbursed by the Township for
its portion upon project completion. The following summarizes the cost breakdown.
"Attachment 2" provides a detailed cost accounting of all aspects of the project.
A. Township pays for 2.5 sirens and all associated siren equipment; City pays for 1.5
sirens and all associated siren equipment.
B. Township pays for installation of 2.5 sirens; City pays for installation of 1.5 sirens.
C. City and Township pay 50/50 of all other costs associated with upgrades to activation
point.
D. Ongoing maintenance of sirens will be at time and materials. Maintenance costs of
Cosgray Park siren will be shared 50/50.
E. There will be no charge to the Township for ongoing testing and/or activation.
7. The attached agreement has been reviewed and approved in concept by the Township.
Appropriation
The total appropriation needed for this prof ect is $104,000 As previously stated, the Township will
reimburse the City $61,462.50 upon completion of the project. The City and the Township will
benefit from jointly purchasing sirens, components, and related systems upgrades. Likewise,
jointly bidding installation should yield the lowest cost available. The actual total cost to expand
the City's system is $42,399.50.
It is important to note that this project was not contemplated in the CIP due to not knowing when
the Township would be interested in seeking such expansions. It has always been staff's intent to
negotiate expansions to the system with developers developing outside the current system's
capability. This was not a viable option in this scenario due to the need to provide coverage
primarily to City parks and the Township's desire to replace existing sirens.
Competitive Bidding
Because these additional and replacement sirens must be compatible with the existing system, staff
views this as a "sole source" purchase. Staff has identified only one vendor who manufactures the
components that would be fully compatible with the City's sirens, which substantiates the City's
ability to waive formal advertising and competitive bidding procedures. The City previously
waived competitive bidding requirements for sirens in 1995 (Ordinance 28-95). However, the
installation of these sirens will be competitively bid. Staff will request emergency legislation for
the installation of these sirens in order that they be installed prior to winter. This legislation will
be introduced in August.
Conclusion
Also be advised that the FCEMA has been kept apprised of this project since its beginning and has
verbally expressed its support for the joint system. Should you have any questions feel free to
address them directly to Dana McDaniel at office: 761-6570; home: 717-0861; pager: 646-6644.
