Teton County to approve $12,950 annual contract for outdoor warning sirens
On April 7, the Teton County Board of Commissioners is set to approve a one-year, $12,950 maintenance and monitoring agreement for the county’s seven outdoor warning sirens, with annual renewal options.
Teton County commissioners on April 7 are scheduled to approve a maintenance and support contract for the county’s outdoor warning siren system (seven sirens plus control infrastructure) with Federal Signal Corp., through Alster Communications and OmniWarn Public Safety, according to a county staff report. The agreement would provide annual inspections/preventive maintenance, 24/7 remote monitoring and support, and on-site response within 48 hours for critical failures that affect the county’s ability to activate the system.

County Emergency Management ran an RFQ (TCEM SIREN 2025-001) that was advertised from Dec. 17, 2025 to Jan. 30, 2026 and received one responsive proposal — from Federal Signal (via Alster, with OmniWarn as the service provider). Staff cited the proprietary nature of the existing Federal Signal equipment and the need for manufacturer-certified maintenance as reasons competition is limited for the life-safety system.

The quoted annual cost totals $12,950, broken out as maintenance for two MOD4016 electronic omnidirectional sirens ($1,875 each), five 2001-130 mechanical rotating sirens ($1,600 each), and the SS2000 control hardware/base station ($1,200). The package also lists battery sets as line items but at a quantity of zero; the program description says battery testing is included, with replacement based on testing/service-life limits. The attached Federal Signal warranty policy separately notes batteries are excluded from its limited warranty. (Teton County Board Meeting Agenda Packet)
