But the EMA will vet both bids and recommend one at a 5:30 p.m. meeting Monday at the Delhi Township Administration building, 934 Neeb Road.
I don't like the sound of this. Is the public allowed to consult on this? I'd see if you can get an acoustical engineer to weigh in it.

Re: No update

60 hours and no decision. I am not sure what the problem is when ASC is $1,700.00 lower per siren It would take a monumentally stupid arse of a politician to reject ASC's bid now, considering all of the attention the bidding is getting. I think Hamilton County has now painted themselves into a corn...

I think it would be more confusion than anything, especially if these replace tornado sirens. They should sound alert/attack instead of a single wave file along with text-to-speech. At least alert/attack gets the message across pretty quickly.

The way they worded it made Federal sound like the best choice. Kind of misleading. The annoying thing is that the article states that Federal's bid "would likely have been the lowest", which isn't the case at all. Unfortunately, that's the media for ya. At least the cat is out of the bag...

This is really going to get ugly, but in a good way.

Good luck to all involved!

Unlike America, any old sirens left in Australia are just mainly left unused. They just simply are not used as (I'm presuming) most of the Rural Fire Service is on a pager calling system now and as such fall into disrepair. Of course the mystery one at Burrumbuttock would be the exception. For thin...

Re: Honest shot

In 2009 Federal was awarded the bid for more money than my bid in 2010 where the money was over budget. It might just be my fried brain from too much assignment work but this sounds like there are some behind the curtains shenanigans going on. Purely speculation, though. Hope the FOI request succee...
