Commissioners approve copier lease with Leap over objections about vendor outreach
Summary
Board approved a lease agreement with Leap for county copiers despite one commissioner voting no and department heads urging that incumbent vendor Weber be given a chance to quote pricing.
Delaware County commissioners approved a contract to lease copiers from Leap after a motion and roll‑call vote Monday.
The administration said leasing copiers yields savings on printing and that current providers had not been contacted before the Leap proposal arrived; a commissioner asked that the incumbent vendor, Weber, be given an opportunity to provide a quote before final execution. The motion to approve the Leap lease passed by roll call: Commissioner Brand, yes; Commissioner Reagan, yes; Commissioner Henry, no.
During public comment, a county department representative said the county has worked with its existing vendor for a long time and criticized the board for not requesting a competing quote from Weber before approving a new vendor. Commissioners acknowledged the long relationship with Weber but said they wanted to pursue the lease opportunity.
County staff will finalize contract signature and schedule implementation. No amendment to the award was made during the meeting.
