County approves $39,015 NVR replacement and awards tractor rental at $25/hr
Summary
Polk County approved a $39,015.50 quote to replace the county NVR (network video recorder) and awarded tractor rental services to Valley Plains Equipment at $25 per hour; both actions carried by voice vote after staff noted higher‑than‑budgeted hardware costs and rising equipment rates.
Polk County commissioners approved two procurement items brought forward by staff: replacement of the county's network video recorder (NVR) and an award for tractor rental services.
IT staff presented a quote from SHI to replace the existing NVR used for the county’s security cameras. The quote totals $39,015.50, approximately $13,000 over the $26,000 budgeted for 2025 due to higher current hardware prices. Commissioners moved and approved the purchase by voice vote.
Highway staff asked to award tractor rental services to Valley Plains Equipment of Crookston, Minnesota, at $25 per hour for winter and summer mowing; the board approved the award by voice vote. Commissioners discussed general upward pressure on equipment costs and noted the county will continue to monitor contract rates.
Both approvals were recorded as voice votes; contract documents and signatures will be completed by county administration and the relevant department heads.
