Prison board forwards camera service contract to commissioners and seeks county action on CoreTrax system
Summary
Carbon County Prison Board voted to forward the annual camera service contract to the county commissioners for approval and later, after executive session, requested that commissioners consider purchasing a CoreTrax monitoring system from ViaPath Technologies.
The Carbon County Prison Board voted to forward the jail's annual camera service contract to the county commissioners for approval and later asked the commissioners to consider procuring a CoreTrax monitoring system from ViaPath Technologies.
Board members discussed persistent camera-server issues and a previously submitted quote for new servers. Board members said the jail's cameras had been manually reset and that, if one of the servers fails, half the cameras would be unavailable for review. A vendor who provided a prior discounted quote, Bob Fidiam, was mentioned; board members said the earlier quote likely expired and that staff should obtain a new price.
The board moved, by voice vote, to forward the current yearly camera service contract to the county commissioners for approval "subject to review by the solicitor" to confirm it matched last year's agreement. Commissioner Horner made the motion; the motion was seconded and carried.
After an executive session on personnel and a security matter, the board made a separate, passed motion requesting that the commissioners take action on ViaPath Technologies' CoreTrax system for the jail. The motion to request commissioner action on CoreTrax was made after the board returned to open session and was approved by voice vote.
Board members did not record specific dollar amounts for a new server quote during the meeting; they asked staff to obtain an updated quote and circulate it to the warden and deputy warden before presenting further requests to the board. The service contract the board forwarded to the commissioners covers the period from 02/01/2025 to 01/31/2026, subject to solicitor confirmation.
The board's discussion distinguished between maintenance/service work already under contract and capital work to replace or add servers. Members characterized the server replacement as the remaining step needed to complete the camera upgrade and to fix time-delay and footage-review problems faced by county detectives.
No formal procurement award was made at the meeting; both the camera-service contract forwarding and the request on CoreTrax were actions to involve the county commissioners and the solicitor in final approvals.
The board also asked staff to obtain a new written quote for the server work and to provide it to the warden and deputy warden for review before any additional board action.
