Commissioners award annual computer replacement bid to Riverside Technologies for $16,010.10
Summary
The county awarded a $16,010.10 contract to Riverside Technologies (RTI) to supply 16 laptops, docking stations and monitors after staff found two lower bids did not meet specifications; the award passed on a voice vote.
Tim Perry, the county IT coordinator, ran the annual computer replacement bid and received 10 bids, Perry told commissioners. Deborah (county administration staff) recommended awarding the contract to Riverside Technologies Inc. (RTI), saying the two lowest bids failed to meet the requested specifications. "The first 2, were found to not meet the specifications that were requested," Deborah said.
Deborah recommended awarding a $16,010.10 contract to Riverside Technologies to cover 16 laptops, nine docking stations and eight monitors and confirmed RTI offered a three-year warranty. Commissioners voted to accept the recommendation; the chair asked, "Is that all in favor?" and commissioners responded with aye votes.
Why it matters: The purchase is split between the general fund and the nursing home budget and is expected to reduce replacement costs compared with prior years. The county will shift to HP devices this year after previously purchasing mostly Dell or similar models.
Discussion vs. decision: This item included a formal procurement recommendation and an affirmative vote to award the contract. No amendments to the award were proposed.
Ending: Staff will proceed with contract award to RTI and move forward with procurement and deployment.
