County opens two bids for YSC security cameras, refers them to staff
Summary
On Oct. 22 the board opened two bids for security cameras described for the Youth Services Center: Telnet at $128,000 and High-tech Solutions Systems Group at $186,690. The board referred the bids to staff for recommendation after clarifying a labeling discrepancy on the bids.
Yellowstone County commissioners opened bids Oct. 22 for security cameras identified on bid documents as for the Youth Services Center. Unidentified Commissioner (S3) read the first bid as coming from Telnet, and the chair announced a Telnet lump-sum bid of $128,000.
The board also recorded a bid from High-tech Solutions Systems Group for $186,690; the chair noted that he was still checking the bid bond for that submission and later confirmed a bid bond was present. Commissioner S4 pointed out a labeling inconsistency on the paperwork—saying the form mentions the YSC in one place and the county courthouse in another—which county staff acknowledged as a likely mislabeling.
Unidentified Commissioner (S3) moved to refer the bids to staff for a recommendation back to the board; after a second from Commissioner S4, members answered "aye" and the chair said the referral passed. Staff will review bid bonds and documentation and return a recommendation to the board before any contract award.
No formal contract award was made at the meeting; the board limited its action to referring the bids to staff for evaluation and recommendation.
