Commissioners direct in-house installation of YDC event center data ports and sign concert insurance; claims approved
Summary
County staff will install data cabling for the YDC event center at an estimated $6,000; commissioners authorized higher-limit insurance coverage for two concerts and approved claims including a planning-and-zoning refund.
Shanda Crystal, Bannock County chief procurement officer, reported back on cost estimates to install data ports at the YDC event center. Crystal presented three vendor estimates and an in-house estimate, and told commissioners the internal cost to run the lines would be about $6,000.
Adam McKinney, chief technical officer, confirmed county IT staff have the manpower to perform the work and were asked to begin pulling cable the following week. Crystal said cable may need to be ordered, which could delay the start by a few days; she recommended using the county’s contingency funds if necessary to cover any change orders.
Separately, Matthew Phillips, HR and Risk Management director, said the county received quotes for ancillary insurance coverage required for concerts on July 12 and July 19 and recommended signing the agreements so coverage can be bound once contracts arrive. Phillips identified Philadelphia Insurance Company as the carrier used for these higher limits and said the quotes were reasonable. A commissioner moved to sign the insurance agreements as presented; the motion carried.
During the claims agenda, commissioners asked about a $4,700 planning-and-zoning refund. Staff explained a customer’s credit card was charged multiple times during an online permit transaction and later paid by check, prompting the refund. Commissioners approved the consent/claims items.
The board gave staff direction to proceed with in‑house installation at the $6,000 estimate and authorized signatures for the insurance agreements; no separate formal contract award to an outside vendor was recorded for the YDC cabling.
