Finance committee reviews contracts; sheriff to accept $18,331 foundation grant for equipment and training
Summary
Finance and administration committee reports described contract changes, a $18,331.06 Berrien Community Foundation grant to the sheriff’s department for equipment and related items, and a contract modification for Royalton Township HMA work valued at $25,855.61.
County finance officials reported committee action on bids, contract changes and grants during the meeting.
The finance committee discussed a bid related to a Sheriff's Department matter; the committee reported it did not support a proposed change through the state. The committee said one bid had been forwarded to CBDC for review and that they would take the lowest conforming bid if it met the department’s specifications.
The county reported the Berrien County Sheriff’s Department was authorized to accept $18,331.06 from the Berrien Community Foundation to cover items including a canine trailer, motorcycle payoff, insurance, and correctional-officer needs. The administration also reported three signed resolutions tied to smaller grants: a natural resources grant for $4,350 and two other grant-related items listed by their internal identifiers ending in 263 and 264; the administration described a blanket purchase for $13,000 related to compliance tasks for a pollutant discharge elimination system (NPDES) and other assistance.
Finance committee members approved a contract modification for Royalton Township HMA work that increased costs due to extra material and replacement of curb and gutter; the change amounted to $25,855.61 and the committee authorized the modification.
Ending: The committee paid routine road department and general bills and referred specific procurement items to CBDC for final review.
