Finance committee approves $62,638 sole‑source purchase of six plan‑review workstations
Summary
The High Point Finance Committee approved a sole‑source purchase from iProject Solutions for six dedicated plan‑review workstations to support roughly 4,700 annual plan reviews; the package, including touchscreens and monitors, totals $62,638.23 and is covered in the current budget.
Councilman Tim Andrew called the Finance Committee to order Thursday and the panel approved a sole‑source purchase for six plan‑review workstations for the Inspections Department.
Chris Whaley, inspections director, told the committee the department handles about 4,700 plan reviews a year and seeks dedicated stations designed for plan review. "Total cost for all 6 units is $62,638.23," Whaley said, adding that the units include 49‑inch touchscreen main displays and additional side monitors and that the city’s IT department reviewed the specifications. Whaley said funds are available in the current budget.
Councilman Tim Andrew questioned an itemized line showing eight 24‑inch side monitors for six stations. Whaley explained each station has a primary 49‑inch touchscreen plus one or more side monitors so staff can keep plans, codebooks and email open simultaneously without switching windows.
An unnamed council member praised the planning and inspections staff and said improved review efficiency should help the city’s broader housing work. A motion to approve the sole‑source purchase was moved, seconded and approved; the transcript records the chair declaring the motion passed but does not include a roll‑call vote.
The committee approved the procurement and the item will proceed to the next administrative step for contract execution.
