Aware of our needs, the City was contacted by Atlantic Radio <br />Network, LLC (ARN) who establishes radio stations to provide information to travelers and <br />residents. Their services include the necessary engineering for the acquisition and building of <br />a 10-watt TIS radio tower and studio and obtaining FCC license. ARN will acquire and <br />install all necessary broadcast equipment, and produce audio components for the <br />programming of the City Station. <br /> <br />In an effort to conduct a good faith review of available sources, staff prepared a Request for <br />Information (RFI) under RFI No.1 0-1 0-03. This RFI was advertised in the Daily Business <br />Review and Demandstar.com as per City's common practice in advertising Request for <br />Proposals (RFP) and no letters of interest were received. Since no responses were received, <br />staff concludes ARN as a sole-source vendor. <br /> <br />A TT ACHMENTS: <br />. Resolution <br />.
