Summary
The County Board approved multiple vendor contracts and purchases including a nearly $965k DEVNET software contract, Motorola radios ($200,611), Tyler CAD maintenance ($176,469) and a series of IT and vehicle purchases.
Madison County’s Board approved a run of vendor contracts and equipment purchases across information technology, public safety and county operations during its March 18 session.
Key IT and software procurement actions included a five‑year renewal with DEVNET, Inc. (1709 Afton Road, Sycamore, IL) for property tax, CAMA, wEDGE and permitting/zoning software at $964,862.35 payable in quarterly installments; two AT&T network contracts (60‑month switched ethernet, $152,889; and 60‑month dedicated internet, $78,816); purchase of four Dell PowerEdge MX740c servers and a PowerEdge MX7000 chassis for $95,728.45; and purchase of 500 Microsoft Exchange Server 2019 licenses and 14 Microsoft SQL Server licenses from CDW‑G for $86,395.14.
Public‑safety and operations procurements included 55 portable radios and a jail repeater system from Motorola Solutions for $200,611.27; renewal of New World CAD maintenance with Tyler Technologies for $176,469.54; Code Red weather‑warning services from Onsolve for $56,250; portable breath alcohol devices for probation from SMART Start (not to exceed $42,458) paid with a Federal BJA grant; vehicle equipment for ten sheriff patrol vehicles and one transit wagon (Ray O’Herron Company, $44,120.25); and a replacement Ford F‑150 for the Coroner’s Office ($31,971).
Smaller but notable purchases included Chameleon licensing software for Animal Care & Control ($53,340) and server hardware from Dell for IT capital upgrades. Committees recommended these purchases and board votes adopted the resolutions as recorded in the meeting minutes.
Why this matters: The procurement decisions allocate capital and operational funds across multiple county departments and will shape IT infrastructure and public‑safety communications capability for the multi‑year contract periods listed.
Several approvals were unanimous or passed along committee recommendations; specific contract terms (payment schedules and funding sources) were recorded for audit and budget tracking.
