Court approves discretionary bid exemption to renew Motorola dispatch service
Summary
Victoria County approved a discretionary bid exemption to renew a service agreement with Motorola Solutions for dispatch services under a local procurement code provision; officials said the exemption applies to service only, not equipment.
Victoria County Commissioners on June 9 approved a discretionary bid exemption to renew a service agreement with Motorola Solutions for dispatch services.
Sheriff presented the renewal as a service-only contract for existing dispatch equipment. The court discussed that the exemption is being granted under a local procurement provision and the judge stated the motion would be to "grant a discretionary bid exemption under local government code 2 62024A2" (as read into the record). The court approved the exemption on a motion and second by voice vote.
County staff clarified the action covers service for the existing dispatch equipment rather than a procurement of new equipment. The exemption will allow the county to continue maintenance and service under Motorola’s service structure while county staff pursue other procurement options as needed.
