Commission authorizes president to sign one-year prosecutor’s office software contract totaling $92,370
Summary
The commission authorized the president to sign a one-year software agreement between the prosecuting attorney’s office and Carpool Computer Systems Inc., for a total stated amount of $92,370; staff discussed renewal terms and budget ties.
Harrison County Commission on Sept. 17 authorized the commission president to sign a one-year software contract between the prosecuting attorney’s office and Carpool Computer Systems Inc. County staff said the contract was previously discussed during budget planning and that this item was the formal contract requiring the commission’s signature because of the dollar amount.
Administrators explained the agreement includes a larger initial setup cost followed by lower recurring costs. Staff said the contract automatically renews for successive one-year terms unless the county gives 30 days’ notice prior to expiration; commissioners discussed whether to tie renewals to the prosecutor’s annual budget request or include termination language to prevent automatic rollovers without commission review.
The motion to allow the president to sign the contract for the amount stated on the record (recorded as $92,370) carried with no recorded opposition. County staff said they would provide the prosecutor’s office with standard county contract terms and discuss budget-year termination provisions as needed.
Ending: County staff will finalize signature and ensure contract terms align with county annual budget practices and termination provisions where possible.
