(KLZA)-- Richardson County Commissioners opened sealed bids for the purchase of radios for county public safety when they met last week.
Richardson County Emergency Manager Brian Dixon told MSC News there will be 24 mobile units purchased to be used to trigger emergency sirens throughout Richardson County. Currently there are 11 sirens with plans to add more. The bids also include some portable radios for disaster response.
Five bids were received ranging from an apparent low bid of $25,218 up to $31,780. All the bids were accepted and referred to Dixon for further review. It is anticipated the Board will award the bids on Tuesday, February 2.
The Board also conducted a public hearing last Tuesday on amending the Fiscal Year 2015-16 budget to add a budget of expenditures for the Natural Disaster Fund. Richardson County expects to receive funds from FEMA for disasters created by 2015 storms.
Following the hearing, drawing no public comment, Commissioners adopted a resolution to amend and approve the additional budgeted expenditures of $150,000 to the Natural Disaster Fund in the budget.
