IRPS committee approves multiple contracts, change orders and studies; awards and extensions totaled over $3 million
Summary
The IRPS Committee approved multiple procurement awards, contract amendments and a countywide pay and classification study, including a background-screening contract and a $1.3 million increase tied to Motorola radio purchases.
The DeKalb County IRPS Committee voted to approve several procurement and contract actions presented as requests for proposals, change orders or amendments. Committee members repeatedly moved and seconded recommendations; items passed by voice vote with no individual roll-call totals recorded in the transcript.
Key approvals and contract actions approved by the committee included:
- Background screening services (RFP No. 261000009) — recommended award to HR True Check, Inc., amount not to exceed $689,375, for the Department of Human Services and Merit System; approved by committee voice vote.
- Classification and compensation study (walk-on; RFP No. 271000078) — recommended award to Evergreen Solutions LLC, amount not to exceed $404,500; approved after committee discussion and a motion to approve the walk-on item.
- Uniforms for Fire Rescue Services (change order Nos. 1315118 and 1315134) — ratification of an extension and an increase to cover contract term through Dec. 31, 2025; awarded to Nafeco and Safeguard Printing and Promotional Products Inc.; total not to exceed $630,000; committee approved the change order.
- Public safety communications hardware (change order to Sourcewell contract 042021-MOT) — increase requested to Motorola Solutions, Inc. for purchase of APX radios and accessories and an extension through June 30, 2026; the committee approved a substitute clarifying the extension date and approved the request (the transcript records a requested $1,300,000 increase specific to police needs).
- Amendment to towing and record services contract (contract 20115571) — a multiyear, countywide contract used primarily by DeKalb Police Services; committee approved the requested amendment (item 20,250,583) after staff described long-term cost and recordkeeping concerns and proposed scope adjustments to improve data capture in renewals.
Other procedural items approved included minutes approval (item 2025-0990) and several routine extensions and change orders that were summarized on the agenda.
Presenters from county departments provided historical usage, procurement scoring and staffing impacts; questions focused on fiscal impacts (how much of the county's administrative cost is recovered under current fee structures), recordkeeping improvements for towing/removal services and precise extension dates for contracts. Staff said some contract amounts cover multiple departments and that some supporting usage figures would need to be provided later by request.
All motions recorded in the transcript were adopted by voice vote with the chair asking "All in favor? Aye. Motion carries." No roll-call vote tallies were recorded in the transcript excerpt provided.
