Summary
Washington County signed authorization to purchase a ClearGov capital project tracking module, accepting a two‑year pricing arrangement and onboarding discount that waives the setup fee if the court signs before the vendor deadline.
Washington County Commissioners Court voted July 1 to approve purchase of a ClearGov capital project tracking module intended to publish county capital projects and connect them to the county’s capital budget.
Budget officer Miss Hollis told the court ClearGov integrates with the county’s budgeting software and offers public project pages, templates, and low IT overhead. She said ClearGov offered to waive a $5,400 setup fee if the county signed before June 30; the quoted cost presented to the court for the first year was $7,920, with pricing locked for two years and a routine 3% annual increase thereafter.
Why it matters: the module will allow residents to view project details and costs online, officials said, improving transparency for ongoing capital work. Miss Hollis noted the county already tracks projects in other internal systems (Encode) but said ClearGov would enable direct public access.
Court action: the court approved the purchase by voice vote. Miss Hollis told commissioners the vendor’s pre‑signature form would hold the onboarding discount and that the form is null and void if the court declines to approve the contract.
What’s next: the county will proceed with vendor onboarding under the approved terms and incorporate the module into the county’s digital budget book for public access.
