Summary

The county awarded its annual computer replacement contract to Riverside Technologies, Inc. (RTI) for $16,010.10 to cover 16 laptops and associated docking stations and monitors; commissioners approved the recommendation by voice vote.

IT coordinator Tim Perry solicited bids for the county’s annual computer replacement program and received 10 responses. County staff recommended awarding the contract to Riverside Technologies, Inc. (RTI) because several low bids did not meet the requested specifications. The recommended award was $16,010.10 to cover 16 laptops with three‑year warranty and associated docking stations and monitors.

The board accepted the recommendation and the motion carried by voice vote; the transcript records commissioners voting “Aye” without a roll‑call tally. Meeting discussion clarified that previous years typically specified Dell machines but this award uses HP‑branded equipment under RTI’s proposal.

The procurement will be split between the nursing home and the general fund per staff explanation. Commissioners expressed satisfaction with the competitive bid process and asked staff to confirm warranty details and contract terms with RTI.
