Warren County awards contracts for public-safety dispatch center upgrades
Summary
The Board approved multiple contracts and purchase orders on June 11 to upgrade the county public-safety dispatch center, including project management, workstation equipment and dispatch furniture totaling roughly $292,637.
The Warren County Board of County Commissioners on June 11 approved a set of contracts and purchase orders to upgrade the county Public Safety Dispatch Center.
The board awarded a professional services contract to Tuway Communications for project management and technical services for the dispatch upgrades (Resolution 326-25) in the amount not to exceed $60,140, and authorized a purchase order to Xybix Systems Inc. for dispatch-center upgrades under New Jersey State Contract #83922 for $232,497.82 (Resolution 327-25). Both resolutions passed on motions by James Kern III, seconded by Lori Ciesla, with recorded votes of yes from all three commissioners.
The resolutions state funding will come from account 0425A408/5059. The Tuway contract was procured as a professional services award under the Local Public Contracts Law, while the Xybix purchase order was issued under an existing state contract.
Why it matters: the upgrades are intended to modernize dispatch equipment and furnishings used by emergency personnel. The board’s actions authorize procurement and commit county funds; documents on file with the county purchasing office specify the vendor agreements and contract ceilings.
What commissioners said: the resolutions were presented as routine procurement items; meeting minutes record no extended public debate. The board approved the awards by recorded vote.
