Also, it does fit into the <br />roaster siren plan for their emergency preparedness plan, as I am <br />the director for both Spring Park and Orono. This price negotiation <br />can take place after Orono Council action. <br />received quotes on both mechanical and electronic sirens. <br />See attached sheet of quotes. I am advocating the selection of an <br />electronic siren for several reasons. Electronic sirens require only <br />' ^ '^olt lectrical service to diarge 12 volt batteries because they <br />te otf batteries, power outages do not affect siren operation, <br />jtronic sirens also can be used directionally with a loud speaker <br />for use in spills of hazardous materials or other needed evacuations. <br />I %fOuld recommend low quote of El ctric Service Co. at $11,666.00 <br />for an electronic siren.
