Commission considers agreement for fleet maintenance software from local vendor Diversified Computer Services
Summary
County staff asked the commission to approve an agreement with Diversified Computer Services LLC for fleet maintenance, inventory and service records software; IT and previous county attorneys reviewed the contract and the county can terminate with 30 days' notice.
County staff asked the Montgomery County Commission to consider an agreement with Diversified Computer Services LLC to provide the county information management system (SAMS) software for maintenance, fleet management inventory and service records.
The presenter said the IT department and former county attorneys reviewed the agreement and recommended it; staff also noted the software is already used by the sheriff's department. The company was described as locally owned and having customers in more than half of the state's counties. The presenter said the county may terminate the agreement with 30 days' notice if it decides not to continue the service.
Commissioners expressed enthusiasm about expected efficiency gains. One commissioner said he and another staff member had briefly discussed the software and were "excited about the opportunity to have the software system" and improve efficiency in fleet operations.
The transcript records the presentation and discussion but does not show a formal vote or contract value. Staff said they had reviewed multiple vendors and selected a budget-friendly package they considered most efficient to date.
