BRA approves $1.193 million security‑technology contract following executive session
Summary
Following an executive session on security matters, the Brazos River Authority board authorized a contract with Convergent Technologies for installation and upgrades of security infrastructure not to exceed $1,193,000.
After an executive session on security and information‑technology protections, the Brazos River Authority board approved a contract with Convergent Technologies to install and upgrade security technology infrastructure for a not‑to‑exceed amount of $1,193,000.
Chair and staff moved the resolution into open session; the resolution, read into the record, authorized the general manager/CEO to execute the contract. A motion by Director Savage, seconded by Director Wilson, passed on roll call with directors present voting yes.
The nut graf: Staff said the contract covers security upgrades and installations identified in the authority’s security assessment and will be procured and overseen by the IT/security team; staff noted the item was discussed in executive session under the Open Meetings Act provisions for security deployment and IT security assessments.
Staff did not provide detailed technical specifications in open session for security reasons; board materials list the contractor, the not‑to‑exceed budget and a request to proceed with contract execution as allowed under procurement rules.
