Board awards countywide camera upgrade contract to Flex Networks after competitive bids
Summary
The commission approved a contract with Flex Networks LLC for a countywide camera system upgrade and awarded a service contract through a competitive solicitation; the maximum contract amount cited was $150,000 to remain under higher procurement thresholds.
At the April 9 meeting Jefferson County commissioners approved awarding a contract for upgrades to the county camera and recording systems to Flex Networks LLC.
Tony (Buildings & Grounds) summarized a procurement process that began after a preferred vendor relationship with another firm faltered. County staff solicited multiple bids and Flex Networks was the lowest responsive bidder, the county said. The board approved a service contract and a contract for services with Flex Networks; staff said the total for the contract is scoped up to $150,000 so the county could follow procurement rules for that threshold.
Commission discussion noted the difficulty of comparing differing camera system technologies (cloud storage vs. NVR, varying feature sets) and emphasized the need for ongoing local support. Commissioners approved the contract and asked staff to begin scheduling work, with an anticipated multi‑week installation window once the project starts.
The contract award was approved by motion and voice vote; commissioners thanked staff for vetting vendors and seeking cost savings through competitive solicitation.
