Summary
The board agreed to add a contract with AutoClear Security Inspection Systems to next week’s consent agenda for purchase of screening equipment, including two X-ray machines, two walkthroughs, and two hand wands; the board discussed a budget amendment and agreed to a not-to-exceed $57,000 figure.
The Centre County Board of Commissioners on April 17 voted to add a contract with AutoClear Security Inspection Systems to the consent agenda for next week, clearing the way for approval of security inspection equipment for a county building.
County staff described the request as a purchase of two security X-ray scanners, two walkthrough metal-detector units and two handheld wands. Staff noted warranty coverage and similarity to the configuration at the Willowbank facility. During discussion staff said the base purchase amount was about $56,550 and that two hand wands added approximately $428, producing a total of roughly $56,978; because the numbers were presented with minor verbal inconsistency, commissioners set a not-to-exceed amount of $57,000 for the request to appear on next week’s consent agenda.
The motion to add the contract to next week’s consent agenda passed by voice vote.
