Commissioners consider Guardian Security proposals to add access control at courthouse and jail
Summary
Wilson County heard proposals from Guardian Security Solutions to install access-control systems at the district courthouse and the sheriff's office/jail; commissioners recommended paying installation from non-departmental funds and a motion was made to accept the proposals not to exceed $40,000.
Wilson County commissioners reviewed two proposals from Guardian Security Solutions to add access-control systems: one for the district courthouse (including the annex) and one for the sheriff’s office/jail.
County staff reported the district courthouse installation cost at $13,658.96 and the jail side at $18,013.21. Staff recommended paying the installation from the county’s non-departmental fund because neither the district court nor the sheriff had budgeted specifically for the work, and to budget ongoing annual service costs later.
It was noted that Guardian Security Solutions is on the county buy board, allowing procurement without a competitive solicitation. Commissioners asked for more detailed line-item proposals for work at the sheriff’s office to ensure the quote covers required access-control points and services.
A motion was made on the floor to accept the Guardian Security Solutions proposals to provide services to the district courthouse and sheriff’s office, with a not-to-exceed amount of $40,000 from county funds. The transcript records the motion but does not include a formal roll-call vote in the excerpted text.
Ending: Commissioners asked staff to provide a more detailed scope for the sheriff’s office work and to proceed under the not-to-exceed limit if the court approved; annual hosting and service costs will be budgeted in a future budget process.
