Jackson County budget panel recommends contracts for sheriff consoles, county printing and mailing services
Summary
The Jackson County Budget Committee recommended adoption of three procurement resolutions: $169,807 for sheriff dispatch consoles under an HGAC contract, a 12-month countywide printing contract, and a short-term mailing-services contract; committee members voiced support and the committee adjourned.
At a Jackson County Budget Committee meeting, members recommended adoption of three resolutions awarding county procurement contracts, including a $169,807 purchase of new dispatch consoles for the sheriff’s office.
Sergeant Zurillo of the Jackson County Sheriff’s Office, who supervises the dispatch center, told the committee the current consoles are “over 12 years old” and that newer equipment would allow the county to expand from four to six consoles to add two administrative stations and two MARC stations. He said the purchase would also create two dedicated training stations so new hires can onboard without sharing live consoles: “They would be able to have their own console to learn on while their trainer is actually working next to them,” Zurillo said.
The procurement for the consoles was presented as Resolution 22-092: an award to Watson Furniture of Postbow, Washington, under the Houston Galveston Area Council contract ECO7-23, with an estimated county cost not to exceed $169,807. Committee member (S1) moved to recommend adoption and the acting chair (S2) seconded; at least two members voiced “Aye” on the record and the acting chair announced the committee’s recommendation for adoption.
The committee also recommended adoption of Resolution 22-094, a 12-month term-and-supply contract with three 12-month renewal options for countywide printing (stationery, envelopes, business cards and specialty printing) to Almore Printing of Kansas City under invitation to bid No. 25037. Cheryl Coulter of the finance department presented the item and confirmed the contract covers various county departments; she said the bid packet includes the list of bidders.
Finally, the committee recommended adoption of Resolution 22-096, a two-month term-and-supply mailing-services contract with three 12-month options to extend to Lineage Mailing Services (formerly Straum Automation and Mailing Services) of Kansas City, using Unified Government of Wyandotte County contract R36488. Cheryl Coulter said the contract continues countywide mailing services and noted the prior contract may have expired, leaving the county temporarily without an active contract.
The committee’s actions at the meeting were recommendations; the acting chair stated the committee would recommend adoption of each resolution. The meeting concluded with no further business and was adjourned at 1:42 p.m.
