The Potter County Commissioners Court approved several procurement and capital payment items July 28, voting 4‑0 on each.

IT and building systems: The court authorized purchase of two APC smart UPS modular online power supplies from CDW Government for the Santa Fe server room at a total purchase price of $51,844, to be funded from the county’s capital equipment account. County IT staff said the units replace end‑of‑life UPS equipment to keep the server room online during power transfers.

Facility systems and inspection contracts: The court approved renewals of the fire alarm system monitoring agreement with Veil Communications for the District Court building and a related inspection agreement; county staff described both as renewals of existing services.

Road project payment: The court approved pay application No. 3 to Holmes Construction for work on the Jimline Road project in the amount of $170,604.90. County staff described the payment as the current payout for work completed to date on the project.

Purchasing authorizations and committees: The court authorized the purchasing agent to prepare bid documents for commercial HVAC services for the detention center and to prepare bid documents for body transport services. The court also appointed a review committee for the body transport procurement composed of county justices of the peace, after discussion of procurement scope and whether an RFP or bid procedure applied. Commissioners voted to proceed with bids and to form the review committee.

All procurement motions passed on voice votes recorded as 4‑0.

Why it matters: The approvals keep county infrastructure and projects on schedule, update end‑of‑life IT hardware, and move forward procurement processes for essential county services. The detention‑center HVAC procurement was moved to an open bid after a vendor would not provide contract pricing, county staff said.
